    Let this indeed be a wonder, even to the wise, that the name of 'cow' is given to different entities. One is always full for milking among people, but Prishni, with her udder, has milked brightly only once.

    They do not shrink from birth. While within, they purify themselves from faults. When they emerge brilliant, they joyfully sprinkle their bodies with splendor, moving freely.

    They swiftly assume the bold name of Maruts. Whom can the generous one stop, when they, powerful in their greatness, are always ready? None can overcome them, neither the slow nor the inactive.

    tá íd ugrā́ḥ śávasā dhr̥ṣṇúṣeṇā ubhé yujanta ródasī suméke ádha smaiṣu rodasī́ sváśocir ā́mavatsu tasthau ná rókaḥ

    Fierce with strength and with armies of daring, they united both heaven and earth, well-formed. Then Rodasi, self-shining, stood among the impetuous Maruts like a light.

    Let your chariot, O Maruts, not be drawn by goats, nor by horses, nor be driven by any charioteer. Moving without support and without reins, it traverses the paths between heaven and earth.

    I invite with invocation that growing, brilliant, Marut-like son of Rudra. Pure hymns are for that divine host; the strong ones, like floods and mountains, do not yield to opposition.
