यत्त्वेषयामा नदयन्त पर्वतान्दिवो वा पृष्ठं नर्या अचुच्यवुः । विश्वो वो अज्मन्भयते वनस्पती रथीयन्तीव प्र जिहीत ओषधिः ॥

yat tveṣa-yāmā nadayanta parvatān divo vā pṛṣṭhaṃ naryā acucyavuḥ | viśvo vo ajman bhayate vanaspatiḥ rathiyantīva pra jihīte oṣadhiḥ ||

যখন তোমরা তোমাদের দীপ্ত গতিতে, তীব্র ত্বেষায়, পর্বতকে গর্জিত করো, আর নর্য (বীর্যবান) শক্তিতে দিবঃ পৃষ্ঠ (আকাশের পৃষ্ঠ/পিঠ) পর্যন্ত কাঁপিয়ে দাও—তখন তোমাদের অজ্মন্ (প্রচণ্ড ধাবন) দেখে প্রত্যেক বনস্পতিই ভীত হয়, আর ওষধিগুলি রথের দৌড়ের চাপে যেন নুয়ে পড়ে।
