कस्य॒ ब्रह्मा॑णि जुजुषु॒र्युवा॑नः॒ को अ॑ध्व॒रे म॒रुत॒ आ व॑वर्त । श्ये॒नाँ इ॑व॒ ध्रज॑तो अ॒न्तरि॑क्षे॒ केन॑ म॒हा मन॑सा रीरमाम
kasya brahmāṇi jujuṣuryuvānaḥ ko adhvare maruta ā vavarta śyenām̐ iva dhrajato antarikṣe kena mahā manasā rīramāma
For whose stupendous powers did the youthful one desire the brahmanas? Who on the road turned the Marut back? Like an eagle clothed in the mid-air, by what great mind did he rend open the heavens?
Of whose oblations do the youthful (Maruts) approve; who attracts them to his (own) sacrifice (from the rites of others); with what powerful praise may we propitiate (them), wandering like kites in the mid-air?
Whose prayers have they, the Youthful Ones, accepted? Who to his sacrifice hath turned the Maruts? We will delay them on their journey sweeping-with what high spirit!-through the air like eagles.
