ukṣante aśvām̐ atyām̐ ivājiṣu nadasya karṇaisturayanta āśubhiḥ hiraṇyaśiprā maruto davidhvataḥ pṛkṣaṃ yātha pṛṣatībhiḥ samanyavaḥ
The horses neighing rushed through the hymns like heroes; with ears like drums they scattered the ill-omened ones. The golden-spotted Marut cleft the two teams, as they assembled like the moving soil.
They sprinkle the wide-extended (lands) with water, as (men sprinkle) horses (when heated) in battles; and they rush along with swift (horses) on the skirts of the sounding (cloud); Maruts, golden-helmeted, andof one mind, agitating (the trees), come with your spotted deer to (receive the sacrificial) food.
They drip like horses in the racings of swift steeds; with the stream's rapid cars they hasten on their way. Maruts with helms of gold, ye who make all things shake, con e with your spotted deer, one-minded, to our food.
