प्र ये दि॒वः पृ॑थि॒व्या न ब॒र्हणा॒ त्मना॑ रिरि॒च्रे अ॒भ्रान्न सूर्यः॑ । पाज॑स्वन्तो॒ न वी॒राः प॑न॒स्यवो॑ रि॒शाद॑सो॒ न मर्या॑ अ॒भिद्य॑वः
pra ye divaḥ pṛthivyā na barhaṇā tmanā riricre abhrānna sūryaḥ pājasvanto na vīrāḥ panasyavo riśādaso na maryā abhidyavaḥ
When heaven and earth rose, not with blare but by their own mind the sun adorned the clouds. O warriors, not as cattle nor as lowly men were those praised, but the heroes stood like singers.
(The Maruts), who through the might of heaven and earth have emerged from their own person ns asthe sun emerges from the cloud, (are) desirous of praise like powerful heroes, and radiant like men whooverpower their enemies.
They who extend beyond the earth and heaven, by their own mass, as from the cloud spreads Surya; Like mighty Heroes covetous of glory, like heavenly gallants who destroy the wicked.
