अव स्वयुक्ता दिव आ वृथा ययुरमर्त्याः कशया चोदत त्मना । अरेणवस्तुविजाता अचुच्यवुर्दृळ्हानि चिन्मरुतो भ्राजदृष्टयः ॥

వారు స్వయంయుక్తులై, దివం నుండి క్రిందికి, వ్యర్థం కాకుండా వేగంగా వచ్చారు—అమర్త్యులు—తమ స్వభావమే కొరడాలా ప్రేరేపించగా. మలినరహితులు, మహాబలంతో జన్మించిన, మెరిసే శూలధారులైన మరుతులు దృఢంగా స్థాపితమైన వాటినికూడా కదిలించారు.
