trīṇi rājānā vidathe purūṇi pari viśvāni bhūṣathaḥ sadāṃsi apaśyamatra manasā jaganvānvrate gandharvām̐ api vāyukeśān
Three kings in Vidatha beautified the many peoples, ever adorning all. With mind I saw the world moving in rite,—even the Gandharvas and the airy hosts.
Royal Indra and Varuṇa, embellish the three universal sacrifices (and make them) full (of all requisites) for this celebration; you have gone to the rite, for I have beheld in my mind, at this solemnity, the gandharvas with hair (waving) in the wind.
Three seats ye Sovrans, in the Holy synod, many, yea, all, ye honour with your presence. There saw I, going thither in the spirit, Gandharvas in their course with wind-blown tresses.
