10.168.1
vāta̍sya̱ nu ma̍hi̱māna̱ṁ ratha̍sya ru̱jann e̍ti sta̱naya̍nn asya̱ ghoṣa̍ḥ |
di̱vi̱spṛg yā̍ty aru̱ṇāni̍ kṛ̱ṇvann u̱to e̍ti pṛthi̱vyā re̱ṇum asya̍n ||
O THE Wind's chariot, O its power and glory! Crashing it goes and hath a voice of thunder. It makes the regions red and touches heaven, and as it moves the dust of earth is scattered.
10.168.2
sam prera̍te̱ anu̱ vāta̍sya vi̱ṣṭhā aina̍ṁ gacchanti̱ sama̍na̱ṁ na yoṣā̍ḥ |
tābhi̍ḥ sa̱yuk sa̱ratha̍ṁ de̱va ī̍yate̱ 'sya viśva̍sya̱ bhuva̍nasya̱ rājā̍ ||
Along the traces of the Wind they hurry, they come to him as dames to an assembly. Borne on his car with these for his attendants, the God speeds forth, the universe's Monarch.
10.168.3
a̱ntari̍kṣe pa̱thibhi̱r īya̍māno̱ na ni vi̍śate kata̱mac ca̱nāha̍ḥ |
a̱pāṁ sakhā̍ prathama̱jā ṛ̱tāvā̱ kva̍ svij jā̱taḥ kuta̱ ā ba̍bhūva ||
Travelling on the paths of air's midregion, no single day doth he take rest or slumber. Holy and earliest-born, Friend of fhe waters, where did he spring and from what region came he?
10.168.4
ā̱tmā de̱vānā̱m bhuva̍nasya̱ garbho̍ yathāva̱śaṁ ca̍rati de̱va e̱ṣaḥ |
ghoṣā̱ id a̍sya śṛṇvire̱ na rū̱paṁ tasmai̱ vātā̍ya ha̱viṣā̍ vidhema ||
Germ of the world, the Deities' vital spirit, this God moves ever as his will inclines him. His voice is heard, his shape is ever viewless. Let us adore this Wind with our oblation.
