You vainly urged the waters, Indra, and formed the sea; like chariots you set them in motion. Thus the uprooted ones compelled equal wealth. Like a bowstring for the mind, the world’s cows gave the milky flood for the people, the milky flood of the people.

You have without effort created the river (that are) to flow to the sea, like chariots (bearing you to sacrifices), as those (construct) chariots who are desirous of (going to) battle; (the streams) flowing hither have gathered together their water for a common purpose, like the cows that yielded all things to Manu; that yield all things to man.

Thou, Indra, without effort hast let loose the floods to run their free course down, like chariots, to the sea, like chariots showing forth their strength. They, reaching hence away, have joined their strength for one eternal end, Even as the cows who poured forth every thing for man, Yea, poured forth all thing- for mankind.
