सृ॒जः सिन्धू॒ँरहि॑ना जग्रसा॒नाँ आदिदे॒ताः प्र वि॑विज्रे ज॒वेन॑ । मुमु॑क्षमाणा उ॒त या मु॑मु॒च्रेऽधेदे॒ता न र॑मन्ते॒ निति॑क्ताः
sṛjaḥ sindhūm̐rahinā jagrasānām̐ ādidetāḥ pra vivijre javena mumukṣamāṇā uta yā mumucre'dhedetā na ramante nitiktāḥ
Creators spread the bright streams; the primal givers pierced forth by blazing might. Yearning for release, those freed by them do not delight; they are called not to joy.
You have set at liberty the streams which had been swallowed by Ahi; they rushed forth with rapidity;the waters which longed to be liberated were set free and now the pure (streams) never stop.
Thou didst free rivers swallowed by the Dragon; and rapidly they set themselves in motion, Those that were loosed and those that longed for freedom. Excited now to speed they run unresting.
