The bulls lowed mightily; the rivers, like waves, were slain; the channels that live moved the stream. The sweetflowing streams begot the radiant disk; Indra’s beloved body grew in strength.
The mighty (priests) assembled together send forth (the Soma) together; desirous (of heaven) they drive it to the wave of the river; genitive rating praise they nourish the previous body of Indra with the streams of the exhilarating Soma.
The strong Steers, gathering, have duly stirred themselves,and over the stream's wave the friends sent forth the song. Engendering the hymn, with flowing streams of meath, Indra's dear body have they caused to wax in strength.
