ā tát ta indrā́yávaḥ panantā́bhi yá ū́rvaṃ gómantaṃ títṛtsān | sakṛ́t-sváṃ yé puru-putrā́m mahī́ṃ sahásra-dhārāṃ bṛhatī́ṃ dudúkṣan ||

Translation

สู่สิ่งนั้นเอง โอ อินทระ (Indra) ผู้แสวงหาของท่านเร่งรุดไป—ผู้ใคร่ข้ามไปสู่คลังอันเต็มเปี่ยมซึ่งมั่งคั่งด้วยโค (รัศมีแห่งญาณ). ผู้ที่ครั้งหนึ่งปลุกแผ่นดินอันกว้างใหญ่ของตน—ผู้มีบุตรมาก พันสายธาร ยิ่งใหญ่—ย่อมทำให้นางหลั่งความอุดมสมบูรณ์ออกมา.
