Transliteration

prá vo rayíṃ yuktā́śvaṃ bharadhvaṃ rāyá eṣé’váse dadhīta dhī́ḥ | suśéva évair auśijásya hótā yé va evā́ marutas turā́ṇām ||

Translation

Traed para vosotros el râyí — la plenitud uncida a corceles veloces, riqueza de energías; por esa abundancia, que la dhī (pensamiento inspirado) sea puesta en su lugar justo, para auxilio. El benévolo Hotṛ de Auśija, con sus poderes impelentes, convoca a esos mismos Maruts, raudos en su arremetida, a nuestro albergue.
