सोषामविन्दत् स स्वः१ सो अग्निं सो अर्केण वि बबाधे तमांसि । बृहस्पतिर्गोवपुषो वलस्य निर्मज्जानं न पर्वणो जभार

He found the Dawns; he found the Sun; he found Agni; with his hymn he drave the darknesses apart. Bṛhaspati bore off the cow-formed wealth of Vala, that lay as it were submerged, as one takes off a limb at the joint.
