The established paths, the earth’s womb—these you desired as masters; the winds yoked swift horses and brought rain and sweat, the fierce ones of Rudra.

On their approach the earth becomes capable of fertility, and they deposit in her water as their germ, as the husband genitive rates the embryo of the child; they have harnessed their horses fleet as the wind; the sons of Rudra have emitted their person iration, (the rain).

Even Earth hath spread herself wide at their coming, and they as husbands have with power impregned her. They to the pole have yoked the winds for coursers: their sweat have they made rain, these Sons of Rudra.
