yaṃ sīm anu pravateva dravantaṃ viśvaḥ pūrur madati harṣamāṇaḥ | paḍbhir ghṛdhyantam medhayuṃ na śūraṃ rathaturaṃ vātam iva dhrajantam

Whom, as ’twere down a precipice, swift rushing, each Pūru praises and his heart rejoices,— Springing forth like a hero fain for battle, whirling the car and flying like the tempest.
