अश्मा॑स्यमव॒तं ब्रह्म॑ण॒स्पति॒र्मधु॑धारम॒भि यमोज॒सातृ॑णत् । तमे॒व विश्वे॑ पपिरे स्व॒र्दृशो॑ ब॒हु सा॒कं सि॑सिचु॒रुत्स॑मु॒द्रिण॑म्
aśmāsyamavataṃ brahmaṇaspatirmadhudhāramabhi yamojasātṛṇat tameva viśve papire svardṛśo bahu sākaṃ sisicurutsamudriṇam
From the stone of mine that was not moved, O Brahmanaspati, a sweet stream of strength flowed like twofold vigor from grass; he sprinkled all directions, the many-eyed, with the moist tide.
That stone-like, solid, down-hanging, water-laden (cloud), which Brahmaṇaspati has with his strength divided, the universal solar rays have drunk up; but they have again shed together the showering and water-spreading (rain).
The well with mouth of stone that poured a flood of meath, which Brahmapaspati hath opened with his might- All they who see the light have drunk their fill thereat: together they have made the watery fount flow forth.
