īśānakṛto dhunayo riśādaso vātān vidyutastaviṣībhirakrata | duhantyūdhardivyāni dhūtayo bhūmiṃ pinvanti payasāparijrayaḥ

Loud roarers, giving strength, devourers of the foe, they make the winds, they make the lightnings with their powers. The restless shakers drain the udders of the sky, and ever wandering round fill the earth full with milk.
