गिरींरज्रान् रेजमानां अधारयद् द्यौः क्रन्ददन्तरिक्षाणि कोपयत्। समीचीने धिषणे वि ष्कभायति वृष्णः पीत्वा मद उक्थानि शंसति

IAST Transliteration

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

He held aloft the trembling mountains and their ridges; Heaven roared, and he set the mid-air regions in commotion. In due-ordered bowls he braces all apart: the Bull, when he hath drunk, in rapture chants the hymns of praise.

Translation

Ngài nâng cao những dãy núi run rẩy cùng các sống núi; Trời gầm vang, khiến các cõi trung không náo động. Trong những chén lễ được sắp đặt đúng trật (dhiṣaṇe), Ngài chống đỡ và tách bày muôn vật. Con Bò đực (vṛṣan), sau khi uống, trong men say hoan lạc, cất lời xướng tụng các thánh ca (ukthāni).
