Sukta 2.15
सद्मेव प्राचो वि मिमाय मानैर्वज्रेण खान्यतृणन्नदीनाम् । वृथासृजत्पथिभिर्दीर्घयाथैः सोमस्य ता मद इन्द्रश्चकार ॥
sadmeva prāco vi mimāya mānair vajreṇa khāny atṛṇan nadīnām | vṛthā sṛjat pathibhir dīrghayāthaiḥ somasya tā made indraś cakāra ||
As if laying out a dwelling, he measured out the forward spaces by measures; with the thunder-force he pierced open the channels of the rivers. He sent them forth along paths of long journey—these Indra accomplished in the ecstasy of Soma.
