That which the gods deemed most godlike to perform, when they, rejoicing, uttered the thunderous cry and Brahman brought forth the splendid bolt, that he declared for the firmament.

That was the exploit, (performed) for the most divine of the gods, by which the firm (shut gates) were thrown open, the strong (barriers) were relaxed, (by him) who set the cows at liberty; who, by the (force of the) sacred prayer, destroyed Bala who dispersed the darkness and displayed the light.

That was a great deed for the Godliest of the Gods: strong things were loosened and the firmly fixed gave way. He drave the kine forth and cleft Vala through by prayer, dispelled the darkness and displayed the light of heaven.
