Transliteration
yá īṅkháyanti párvatān tiráḥ samudrám arṇavám | marúdbhir agne ā́ gáhi ||
Translation
ഹേ അഗ്നേ, മരുതുകളോടുകൂടെ വരിക—അവർ പർവതങ്ങളെ കുലുക്കി ചലനത്തിലാക്കുന്നു; സമുദ്രസദൃശമായ അർണവപ്രളയത്തെ അതിക്രമിച്ച് കടക്കുന്നു; സ്ഥിരരൂപങ്ങളെ വിറപ്പിച്ച്, ഗ്രസിക്കുന്ന അവചേതനജലങ്ങളിൽ നിന്ന് സത്തയെ മുന്നോട്ട് തള്ളുന്നു.
