The bull, radiant, struck and bound the song, bringing earth and heaven together. Hear, O followers of Indra, the roaring voice as it proclaims—listen to this speech.
(Calling out for the praises like) a red bull bellowing after the kine; the Soma goes with a roar through heaven and earth; (his voice) is heard as the voice of Indra, manifesting (himself) he raises this voice.
The Red Bull bellowing to the kine advances, causing the heavens and earth to roar and tbunder. Well is he beard like Indra's shout in battle: letting this voice be known he hastens hither.
