Transliteration

apā́d índro apā́d agnír víśve devā́ amatsata | váruṇa íd ihá kṣayat tám ā́po abhyànūṣata vatsáṃ saṃśíśvarīr iva ||

Translation

Indra drank; Agni drank; all the gods grew glad. Varuṇa too dwelt here; and the Waters moved toward him with their murmuring, as mothers lowing around a calf—nourishing the indwelling order with their flowing consent.
