upahvaréṣu yád acídhvam yayíṃ váya iva marutaḥ kéna cit pathā́ | ścótanti kóśā úpa vo rathéṣv ā́ ghṛtám ukṣatā mádhuvarṇam árcate ||
Translation
જ્યારે ખીણોમાં તમે તમારી ગતિશીલ શક્તિને પ્રજ્વલિત કરો, હે મરુતો, જાણે કોઈ માર્ગે પક્ષીઓ ઉડે તેમ—ત્યારે તમારા રથો પરનાં પાત્રો ટપકે; તમે મધુવર્ણ ઘૃત ઢાળો, અને સ્તુતિ આનંદથી ઊઠે છે.
