Meaning -
O waters which, on the break of the cloud, flow on together, roaring, roaring, for which reason you have the names ‘nadyah’, i.e., those that flow, roaring. For that very reason, your names are ‘Sindhavah’, i.e., those that flow as floods. (‘Nadyah’ and Sindhavah are plural forms of ‘nadi’ and ‘sindhu’. Every stream is nadi and every river is sindhu. Hence the river Indus also is called Sindha or Sindhu which now is a particular name through the historical process of particularisation. But in the Veda, Sindhu is a general name for any river, the reason being that it is the name of water flowing in flood anywhere.)
