"The Veda speaks constantly of the waters or the rivers, especially of the divine waters ... and occasionally of the waters which carry in them the light of the luminous soloar world or the light of the Sun ... . The passage of the waters effected by the gods or by man with the aid of the gods is a constant symbol. ... What can these rivers be whose wave is full of Soma-wine, full of the ghrta, full of urj, the energy? What are these waters that flow to the goal of the god's movement, that establish for man the supreme good? Not the rivers of the Punjab; no wildest assumption of barbarous confusion or insane incoherence in the mentality of the Vedic Rishis can induce us to put such a construction upon such expressions. Obviously these are the waters of the Truth and the Bliss that flow from the supreme ocean."
The recordings were made at Sri Aurobindo Ashram in 1973. Sanskrit recited by Sri Vinayak. English translation by Sri Aurobindo (Riks 1-4) recited by Santosh Krinsky. (Secret of the Veda, pp. 104-117)
