प्र यत्सिन्ध॑वः प्रस॒वं यथाय॒न्नापः॑ समु॒द्रं र॒थ्ये॑व जग्मुः । अत॑श्चि॒दिन्द्रः॒ सद॑सो॒ वरी॑या॒न्यदीं॒ सोमः॑ पृ॒णति॑ दु॒ग्धो अं॒शुः
pra yatsindhavaḥ prasavaṃ yathāyannāpaḥ samudraṃ rathyeva jagmuḥ ataścidindraḥ sadaso varīyānyadīṃ somaḥ pṛṇati dugdho aṃśuḥ
As when the rippling waters bore off the coursers toward the sea, so the strong ones went like chariots. Thereupon Indra, in his seats, the generous Soma fills with milk, the radiant eye.
As the rivers pursue their course, the waters rush to the ocean like the drivers of cars (to a goal), so the vast Indra (hastens) from his dwelling (in the firmament), when the humble Som alibation propitiates him.
As floods according to their stream flow onward, so to the sea, as borne on cars, the waters. Vaster is Indra even than his dwelling, what time the stalk milked out, the Soma, fills him.
