Sanskrit Original
सं प्रेर॑ते॒ अनु॒ वात॑स्य वि॒ष्ठा ऐनं॑ गच्छन्ति॒ सम॑नं॒ न योषाः॑ । ताभिः॑ स॒युक्स॒रथं॑ दे॒व ई॑यते॒ऽस्य विश्व॑स्य॒ भुव॑नस्य॒ राजा॑
saṃ prerate anu vātasya viṣṭhā ainaṃ gacchanti samanaṃ na yoṣāḥ tābhiḥ sayuksarathaṃ deva īyate'sya viśvasya bhuvanasya rājā
Urged together by the breath’s impulse, the invocations go — they do not go like wives to their house. With them the god is yoked to the chariot; he who rules this world and its realms is proclaimed king.
Solid masses advance to meet the wind; the mares come to him as to battle; associated with themandin the same car the divinity proceeds, the sovereign of all this world.
Along the traces of the Wind they hurry, they come to him as dames to an assembly. Borne on his car with these for his attendants, the God speeds forth, the universe's Monarch.
