Varuna has inverted his water-barrel and let the two worlds with the space between flow (with rain).

With this (heavenly water-barrel) he, the king of every created thing, wets the whole world, as a rain does a meadow.

He wets the world, both earth and heaven, when he, Varuna, chooses to milk out (rain)--and then do the mountains clothe themselves with cloud, and even the strongest men grow weak.

Yet another great and marvellous power of the renowned spirit (Asura) will I proclaim, this, that standing in mid-air he has measured earth with the sun, as if with a measuring rod.

(It is due to) the marvellous power of the wisest god, which none ever resisted, that into the one confluence run the rivers, and pour into it, and fill it not.
