14. He then pours Nigrabhya water on it. Now the waters, forsooth, slew Vritra and by virtue of that prowess of theirs they now flow. Wherefore nothing whatsoever can check them when they flow; for they followed their own free will, thinking, “To whom, forsooth, should we submit (or stop), we by whom Vritra was slain!” Now all this (universe), whatsoever there is, had submitted to Indra, even he that blows yonder.
