सोमः॑ सु॒तो धार॒यात्यो॒ न हित्वा॒ सिन्धु॒र्न नि॒म्नम॒भि वा॒ज्य॑क्षाः । आ योनिं॒ वन्य॑मसदत्पुना॒नः समिन्दु॒र्गोभि॑रसर॒त्सम॒द्भिः
somaḥ suto dhārayātyo na hitvā sindhurna nimnamabhi vājyakṣāḥ ā yoniṃ vanyamasadatpunānaḥ samindurgobhirasaratsamadbhiḥ
Soma, sustaining from above, did not abandon the Sindhu; with renewed vigour he poured forth abundant strength. He brought forth a wild progeny and, like a flood, bestowed cows and riches together.
The Soma effused in a stream, going like a horse flows powerful like a river down a descent; purified he alights on the wooden abode; Indu mixes with the milk and curds, (mixes) with the water.
Strong Soma, pressed, like an impetuous courser, hath flowed in stream as a flood speeding downward. Cleansed, he hath settled in his wooden dwelling: Indu hath flowed with milk and with the waters.
