पिन्व॑न्त्य॒पो म॒रुतः॑ सु॒दान॑वः॒ पयो॑ घृ॒तव॑द्वि॒दथे॑ष्वा॒भुवः॑ । अत्यं॒ न मि॒हे वि न॑यन्ति वा॒जिन॒मुत्सं॑ दुहन्ति स्त॒नय॑न्त॒मक्षि॑तम्
pinvantyapo marutaḥ sudānavaḥ payo ghṛtavadvidatheṣvābhuvaḥ atyaṃ na mihe vi nayanti vājinamutsaṃ duhanti stanayantamakṣitam
Waters drank, the Maruts, the youthful heroes, like streams of milk and ghee they came into being in the courses. They greatly do not admire, they do not lead away the vigorous; they milk forth the one who cannot be seen, the eyeless.
The munificent Maruts scatter the nutritious waters, as priests at sacrifices the clarified butter; as grooms lead forth a horse, they bring forth the rain from the fleeting-cloud, and milk it, thundering, and unexhausted.
The bounteous Maruts with the fatness dropping milk fill full the waters which avail in solenm rites. They lead, as 'twere, the Strong Horse forth, that it may rain: they milk the thundering, the never-failing spring.
