Sanskrit Original
समूह्यमाना बहुधा येन नीताः पृथग् घनाः। वर्षमोक्षकृतारम्भास्ते भवन्ति घनाघनाः॥ संहता येन चाविद्धा भवन्ति नदतां नदाः। रक्षणार्थाय सम्भूता मेघत्वमुपयान्ति च॥ योऽसौ वहति भूतानां विमानानि विहायसा। चतुर्थः संवहो नाम वायुः स गिरिमर्दनः॥
That wind which supports the clouds and divides them into various parts which melts them for pouring rain and once more solidifies them, which is perceived as the sound of roaring clouds, which exists for the preservation of the world by itself assuming the form of the clouds, which carries the cars of all celestials along the sky, is known by the name of Samvaha. The fourth in the number, it is gifted with great strength so that it is capable of rending the very mountains.
