उपह्वरेषु यदचिध्वं ययिं वय इव मरुतः केन चित पथा | शचोतन्ति कोशा उप वो रथेष्वा घर्तमुक्षता मधुवर्णमर्चते

upahvareṣu yadacidhvaṃ yayiṃ vaya iva marutaḥ kena cit pathā | ścotanti kośā upa vo ratheṣvā ghṛtamukṣatā madhuvarṇamarcate

When, Maruts, on the steeps ye pile the moving cloud, ye are like birds on whatsoever path it be. Clouds everywhere shed forth the rain upon your cars. Drop fatness, honey-hued, for him who sings your praise.
