यत्त्वे॒षया॑मा न॒दय॑न्त॒ पर्व॑तान्दि॒वो वा॑ पृ॒ष्ठं नर्या॒ अचु॑च्यवुः । विश्वो॑ वो॒ अज्म॑न्भयते॒ वन॒स्पती॑ रथी॒यन्ती॑व॒ प्र जि॑हीत॒ ओष॑धिः
yattveṣayāmā nadayanta parvatāndivo vā pṛṣṭhaṃ naryā acucyavuḥ viśvo vo ajmanbhayate vanaspatī rathīyantīva pra jihīta oṣadhiḥ
Wherewith the mountains and the sky and the back of men were made to tremble—every creature feared you; the plants, wild and domestic, and the charioteers fled from your might.
When your brilliant coursers make the mountains echo; and, friendly to man, traverse the summit of the firmament; then all the forest lords are alarmed at your approach, and the bushes wave to and fro, as a woman in a chariot.
When they in dazzling rush have made the mountains roar, and shaken heaven's high back in their heroic strength, Each sovran of the forest fears as ye drive near, aid the shrubs fly before you swift as whirling wheels.
