Meaning
The eastern sky is whitening and the buffaloes have already been let out for their early grazing. The other girls were ready to set off, but the friends held them back and came to stand at this door and call the joyful girl inside. If they sing, receive the drum, and go bow before the god of gods who tore open the demon-horse's mouth and threw down the wrestlers, he will look kindly into their need and give his grace.
