Before, the heavens spoke not; not weaker were the floodwise torrents, the law-knowing. The bow-bearing, unwearied, seized the channels of streams; Indra bound down the wives of the waters.

Indra has filled the youthful rivers, the parents of plural nty, the corroders (of their banks), like armies destructive (of their foes); he has inundated the dry lands, and (satisfied) the thirsty travellers; he has milked the barren cows whom the asuras had become the lords of.

He let the young Maids skilled in Law, unwedded, like fountains, bubbling, flow forth streaming onward. He inundated thirsty plains and deserts, and milked the dry Cows of the mighty master.
