कु॒विद॒ङ्ग नम॑सा॒ ये वृ॒धासः॑ पु॒रा दे॒वा अ॑नव॒द्यास॒ आस॑न् । ते वा॒यवे॒ मन॑वे बाधि॒तायावा॑सयन्नु॒षसं॒ सूर्ये॑ण
kuvidaṅga namasā ye vṛdhāsaḥ purā devā anavadyāsa āsan te vāyave manave bādhitāyāvāsayannuṣasaṃ sūryeṇa
Those who once, venerable elders, spoke to the gods in former times — they restrained you with wind, placing strains upon the dwelling and the sun.
Those venerable worshippers, who by prompted and frequently (adoring Vāyu) with reverence wereformerly free from reproach, have now illumined Uṣas and the sun for sacrificing to Vāyu and (the preservationof) embarrassed mankind.
WERE not in sooth, the Gods aforetime blameless, whose pleasure was increased by adoration? For Vayu and for man in his affliction they caused the Morning to arise with Surya.
