He spurned the honey-bearing source of Rta, as the sun hurled down like a meteor from the sky. Brihaspati, raising rocks, split the earth and cleft the surface as if tearing skin.

Saturating (the earth) with water, scattering the receptacle of rain, the adorable Bṛhaspati, raising upthe cattle from the rock as (he raises) a meteor from the sky, rent the skin of the earth (with the hoofs of thecattle) as (Parjanya rends it) with rain.

As the Sun dews with meath the seat of Order, and casts a flaming meteor down from heaven. So from the rock Brhaspati forced the cattle, and cleft the earth's skin as it were with water.
