indrāsomā vāsayatha uṣāsamutsūryaṃ nayatho jyotiṣā saha upa dyāṃ skambhathuḥ skambhanenāprathataṃ pṛthivīṃ mātaraṃ vi
Indra and Soma brought forth the dawn and led forth the rising sun with the lights. They established the vault of heaven, and with the support they upheld the spread-out earth, the mother.
Indra and Soma, you have led on the dawns; you have upraised the sun with his splendour, you have propped up the sky with he supporting pillar (of the firmament); you have spread out the earth, the mother (of all).
Ye, Indra-Soma, gave her light to Morning, and led the Sun on high with all his splendour. Ye stayed the heaven with a supporting pillar, and spread abroad apart, the Earth, the Mother.
