Transliteration
yátprāyā́siṣṭa pṛ́ṣatībhir áśvair vīḷupavíbhir maruto ráthebhiḥ | kṣódante ā́po riṇaté vánāny ávo usríyo vṛṣabháḥ krandatu dyáuḥ ||
Translation
حين تنطلقون، يا ماروت، بخيولكم المُرقَّطة، وبمركباتكم ذات الحوافّ الصلبة، تُخَضُّ المياه؛ وتُجعل الغابات ترنّ وترتجف. إلى أسفل تنساب اللامعات؛ والثور يزأر—والسماءُ نفسها تُدوّي.
