Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 2.34.1
Transliteration

dhārāvarā́ marúto ghṛ́ṣṇvójaso mṛgā́ ná bhīmā́s táviṣībhir arcínaḥ | agnáyo ná śuśucānā́ ṛjīṣíṇo bhṛmíṃ dhámanto ápa gā́ avṛṇvata ||

Translation

Die Maruts, strömende Kräfte ausgießend, von kühner Macht, wie furchtbare Wildtiere, lodern in ihrer Stärke. Wie entfachte Feuer, flammend und geradstrebig treibend, blasen sie das Hindernis hinweg und decken die Strahlen — die Kühe — aus der Verborgenheit auf.
