GREAT is this might of yours, Indra and Soma: the first high exploits were your own achievements. Ye found the Sun ye found the light of heaven: ye killed all darkness and the Gods' blasphemers.
6.72.2
indrā̍somā vā̱saya̍tha u̱ṣāsa̱m ut sūrya̍ṁ nayatho̱ jyoti̍ṣā sa̱ha |
upa̱ dyāṁ ska̱mbhathu̱ḥ skambha̍ne̱nāpra̍thatam pṛthi̱vīm mā̱tara̱ṁ vi ||
Ye, Indra-Soma, gave her light to Morning, and led the Sun on high with all his splendour. Ye stayed the heaven with a supporting pillar, and spread abroad apart, the Earth, the Mother.
6.72.3
indrā̍somā̱v ahi̍m a̱paḥ pa̍ri̱ṣṭhāṁ ha̱tho vṛ̱tram anu̍ vā̱ṁ dyaur a̍manyata |
prārṇā̍ṁsy airayataṁ na̱dīnā̱m ā sa̍mu̱drāṇi̍ paprathuḥ pu̱rūṇi̍ ||
Ye slew the flood -obstructing serpent Vṛitra, Indra and Soma: Heaven approved your exploit. Ye urged to speed the currents of the rivers, and many seas have ye filled full with waters.
6.72.4

Ye in the unripe udders of the milch-kine have set the ripe milk, Indra, thou, and Soma. Ye have held fast the unimpeded whiteness within these many-coloured moving creatures.
6.72.5
indrā̍somā yu̱vam a̱ṅga taru̍tram apatya̱sāca̱ṁ śrutya̍ṁ rarāthe |

Verily ye bestow, Indra and Soma, wealth, famed, victorious, passing to our children. Ye have invested men, ye Mighty Beings, with manly strength that conquers in the battle.
