നിങ്ങൾ രഥങ്ങളിൽ പൃഷതീ (ചിതറ) അശ്വങ്ങളെ യോജിപ്പിച്ച്, വാജ (ബലം/വിജയം) നിറഞ്ഞപ്പോൾ അദ്രി (കല്ല്)യെ മുന്നോട്ട് തള്ളിക്കൊണ്ട് വേഗത്തിൽ ഓടിച്ചപ്പോൾ, ഹേ മരുതന്മാരേ—അരു‍ഷ (ചുവപ്പുനിറ) പ്രകാശത്തിന്റെ ധാരകൾ പൊട്ടിപ്പുറപ്പെടുന്നു; ചർമത്തിൽ നിന്നു വെള്ളം ഒഴുകുന്നതുപോലെ, അവ വിശാലമായ ഭൂമിയെ നനച്ച് വ്യാപിക്കുന്നു.
