When the men bore you in the clash they sought the herds and homesteads—Indra, famed in battle; the sacrificers proclaimed the birth of offspring, I choose for you good counsel of the worshippers.

Viśvāmitra speaks: (Since), rivers, (you have allowed me to cross), so may the Bharatas pass over (your united stream); may the troop desiring to cross the water, permitted (by you), and impelled by Indra, pass; then let the course appinted for your going (be resumed); I have recourse to the favour of you who are worthy of adoration.

Soon as the Bharatas have fared across thee, the warrior band, urged on and sped by Indra, Then let your streams flow on in rapid motion. I crave your favour who deserve our worship.
