ayaṃ sa yo varimāṇaṃ pṛthivyā varṣmāṇaṃ divo akṛṇodayaṃ saḥ ayaṃ pīyūṣaṃ tisṛṣu pravatsu somo dādhārorva1ntarikṣam
He who made rain fall upon the earth, causing the seasons and bringing forth the day — that Soma poured his nectar into the three streams and upheld the mid‑air.
This it is which formed the expanse of the earth, the compactness of the heaven; this Soma has deposited the ambrosia in its three principal (receptacles), and has upheld the spacious firmament.
This, even this, is he who hath created the breadth of earth, the lofty height of heaven. He formed the nectar in three headlong rivers. Soma supports the wide mid-air above us.
