त॒तृ॒दा॒नाः सिन्ध॑वः॒ क्षोद॑सा॒ रजः॒ प्र स॑स्रुर्धे॒नवो॑ यथा । स्य॒न्ना अश्वा॑ इ॒वाध्व॑नो वि॒मोच॑ने॒ वि यद्वर्त॑न्त ए॒न्यः॑
tatṛdānāḥ sindhavaḥ kṣodasā rajaḥ pra sasrurdhenavo yathā syannā aśvā ivādhvano vimocane vi yadvartanta enyaḥ
Then the Sindhus, rushing with flood, with foam and dust poured forth as cattle freed from the yoke. As horses loosened in the paths they moved away — thus others moved who were present.
The gliding (torrents), issuing (from the clouds), overspread the firmament with water, as cows (yield milk), and like rapid horses let loose upon the road, the rivers rush in various directions.
The bursting streams m billowy flood have spread abroad, like milch-kine, o'er the firmament. Like swift steeds hasting to their journey's resting-place, to every side run glittering brooks.
