(The Maruts) plural ced a feminine le in the enveloping hide (of a dead cow), and a calf in the mouth (of adead cow), with mind and tongue, aiming (at deification); daily the genitive rous (fraternity of the Ṛbhus) offerssuitable praises (to the gods), granting victory over our foes.

Ye with a secret tongue and dark intention laid the maiden deep within, the calf within the mouth. They evermore are near us with their gracious help: successful is the song that strives for victory.
