Downward the drop took station in the radiant stream, moving, dark, with tenfold thousands. Indra, with his might, established it as it rolled and was driven on—cleansing away adhesions—delighting men.
إلى أسفلِ اتَّخَذَتِ القَطْرَةُ مَقامَها في السَّيْلِ المُشِعّ، سائرةً—داكنةً—بعشراتِ الألوف. وإندرا، بقوَّته/شَكْتِيَه، ثبَّتها وهي تتدحرج وتُدفَعُ قُدُمًا—مُزيلةً ما يلتصق—مُفرِحةً للناس.
