a Thou art connected with the Maruts, thou art the force of the Maruts, cleave the stream of the waters.

b Stay, O Maruts, the speeding falcon,

Swift as mind, the strong, the glorious;

That whereby the dread host goes set loose,

Do ye, O Ashvins, put around; hail!

c East wind, raining, quicken; Ravat! Hail! Storming, raining, dread; Ravat! Hail! Thundering, raining, formidable; Ravat! Hail! Thundering without lightning, lightning, raining, resplendent; Ravat! Hail! Raining over night, satisfying; Ravat! Hail! Famed as having rained much; Ravat! Hail! Raining while the sun shines, radiant; Ravat! Hail! Thundering, lightning, raining, waxing great; Ravat! Hail!

d Gladdening, obedient, purifying, agile,

Full of light, full of darkness, flooding, with fair foam,

Supporting friends, supporting the warrior class,

With fair realms, do ye help me.

e Thou art the fetter of the strong steed; for rain I yoke thee.
