Traducción
Now what is after the late afternoon and before sunset — that is the upadrava; with it the forest [beasts] are bound up; therefore, catching sight of a man, they run off [upadravanti] to the thickets and the burrows: for they have a share in the upadrava of this sāman.

The sixth beat: from the late afternoon to sunset is the upadrava, the "running-up"; tad asyāraṇyā anvāyattāḥ — "with it the forest [beasts] are bound up": tasmāt te puruṣaṁ dṛṣṭvā kakṣaṁ śvabhram ity upadravanti — "therefore, seeing a man, they run off (upa-dravanti!) into the thickets and burrows": the root √dru — "to run" — binds this member of the song to the evening flight of the wild.
The hour before sunset is the hour of taking cover: the wild hurries to its refuges: and this too is a beat of the song: the movement homeward before the dark. The great concord of the day has its part of flight as well — a lawful part, not a shameful one: a creature hastening to its burrow sings its own member of the sāman. The wisdom of the hour: before night one ought to be under cover — and the soul too has its "thickets and burrows": the Name, memory, prayer — which it must reach before sundown.
