धायोभिर्वा यो युज्येभिरर्कैर्विद्युन्न दविद्योत्स्वेभिः शुष्मैः । शर्धो वा यो मरुतां ततक्ष ऋभुर्न त्वेषो रभसानो अद्यौत् ॥

Transliteration

dhāyóbhir vā yó yújyebhir arkáir vidyún na davidyót svébhīḥ śúṣmaiḥ | śárdho vā yó marútāṃ tatákṣa ṛbhúr na tvéṣo rabhasā́nó ádyaut ||

Translation

Ya sea por sus poderes sustentadores y por los arkas (himnos) uncidos, fulgura como el rayo con sus propias fuerzas; o bien ha labrado la hueste de los Maruts: como un Ṛbhu, agudo y veloz, hoy ha resplandecido.
