They said to me: ‘Young woman, go beyond; they said to me: ‘Kushava, awake.’ They said to me: ‘Waters are mine, O child.’ Indra stood with might.
Vāmadeva speaks: exulting one youthful mother brought you forth; exulting, Kuṣavā swallowed you; exulting, the waters gave delight to the infant; Indra, exulting, rose up by his strength.
I cast thee from me, mine,-thy youthful mother: thee, mine own offspring, Kusava hath swallowed. To him, mine infant, were the waters gracious. Indra, my Son, rose up in conquering vigour.
