THE singer, O ye Waters in Vivasvan's place, shall tell your grandeur forth that is beyond compare. The Rivers have come forward triply, seven and seven. Sindhu in might surpasses all the streams that flow.

प्र ते ऽरदद् वरुणो यातवे पथः सिन्धो यद् वाजाꣳ अभ्य् अद्रवस् त्वम् । भूम्या अधि प्रवता यासि सानुना यद् एषाम् अग्रꣳ जगताम् इरज्यसि
