He smote the Serpent, couched upon the mountain; Tvaṣṭṛ for him wrought the thunderbolt, heaven-winning. Like lowing milch-cows, streaming forth, the Waters straightway went down unto the sea.
Er erschlug die Schlange, die sich am Berge gelagert hatte; Tvaṣṭṛ schmiedete ihm den Vajra, himmelgewinnend. Wie brüllende Milchkühe, strömend, gingen die Wasser sogleich geradewegs hinab zum Meer.
Rishi: Traditionally Indraic/Angiras-type attribution for the inherited mythic verse (exact r̥ṣi per AV anukramaṇī for 2.5.6 to be verified).
Devata: Indra (with Tvaṣṭṛ as auxiliary divine agent); Waters (Āpaḥ) as the released healing power.
Chandas: Triṣṭubh-like cadence (to be metrically confirmed against pada lengths in AVŚ 2.5.6).
Primary: vira
Secondary: raudra
