vidyúj jihvā́ marúto dántā revátīr grīvā́ḥ kṛ́ttikā skandhā́ gharmó váhaḥ
Lightning is the tongue; the Maruts are the teeth; the Revatis are the necks; the Kṛttikās the shoulders; heat is the back that bears.
بجلی زبان ہے، مروت دانت ہیں، ریوتیاں گردنیں ہیں، کرتیکا کندھے ہیں، گرمی پیٹھ ہے جو برداشت کرتی ہے۔
