By creation, with the breath so fixed, Indra struck from the southern flank the strong foes. Thus he formed beings, opening paths day by day, spreading beyond restraint.
Endowed with natural force possessed of (swift) horses, Indra, the overcomer of the adversaries, (sets free) the waters at the southern (declination); thus liberated the waters expand daily to the insatiable goal whence there is no returning.
Indra with rush and might, sped by his Coursers, hath swiftly won the waters from the southward. Thus set at liberty the rivers daily flow to their goal, incessant and exhaustless.
