Sanskrit (Devanagari)
परति षटोभन्ति सिन्धवः पविभ्यो यदभ्रियां वाचमुदीरयन्ति | अव समयन्त विद्युतः पर्थिव्यां यदी घर्तं मरुतः परुष्णुवन्ति

prati ṣṭobhanti sindhavaḥ pavibhyo yadabhriyāṃ vācamudīrayanti | ava smayanta vidyutaḥ pṛthivyāṃ yadī ghṛtaṃ marutaḥ pruṣṇuvanti
English Translation (Griffith)
The rivers roar before your chariot fellies when they are uttering the voice of rain-clouds. The lightnings laugh upon the earth beneath them, what time the Maruts scatter forth their fatness.
