Those white roads that rise to heaven with the dawn—Indra and Agni follow the vow; the rivers that were bound they loosen, sending them to the sea—many heavens alike.
Offering oblations, (the worshippers) approach to the worship of Indra and Agni, who are of a whitecomplexion, and rise from below with bright rays to heaven; they verily have liberated the waters from bondage;may all our adversaries perish.
The Two refulgent with their beams rise and come downward from the sky. By Indra's and by Agni's hest, flowing away, the rivers, run which they released from their restraint.
