nā́bhā pṛthivyā́ dharúṇo mahó divó ’pām ū́rmau síndhuṣv antár ukṣitáḥ | índrasya vājró vṛṣabhó vibhū́vasuḥ sómo hṛdé pavate cā́ru matsaráḥ ||

Translation

As the navel of earth, as the firm support of the great heaven, set within the wave of the waters, within the rivers—Soma is poured. Indra’s thunderbolt, the bull of force, wide in riches, the lovely ecstasy flows purified in the heart.
