Atharvaveda · Sūkta 20.28

20.28.1

व्यन्तरिक्षमतिरन् मदे सोमस्य रोचना ।
इन्द्रो यदभिनद्वलम् ॥ २०.२८.१ ॥

In the intoxication of soma Indra traversed the mid-region and spread out the shining realms, when he split open the Vala.

उद्गा आजदङ्गिरोभ्य आविष्क्र्ण्वन् गुहा सतीः ।
अर्वाञ्चं नुनुदे वलम् ॥ २०.२८.२ ॥

For the Aṅgirases he drove out the cows (the light), bringing to view those hidden in the caves; he pushed Vala back toward us.

इन्द्रेण रोचना दिवो दृल्हानि दृंहितानि च ।
स्थिराणि न पराणुदे ॥ २०.२८.३ ॥

By Indra the shining realms of heaven were made firm and strengthened; the steadfast things are not thrust away.

अपामूर्मिर्मदन्न् इव स्तोम इन्द्राजिरायते ।
वि ते मदा अराजिषुः ॥ २०.२८.४ ॥

As a wave of the waters exhilarates, so the praise rises swiftly toward Indra; your exhilarations have shone forth.
