Sanskrit (Devanagari)
परवत्वतीयम पर्थिवी मरुद्भ्यः परवत्वती दयौर भवति परयद्भ्यः | परवत्वतीः पथ्य्र अन्तरिक्ष्याः परवत्वन्तः पर्वता जीरदानवः
IAST Romanisation
pravatvatīyam pṛthivī marudbhyaḥ pravatvatī dyaur bhavati prayadbhyaḥ | pravatvatīḥ pathyṛ antarikṣyāḥ pravatvantaḥ parvatā jīradānavaḥ
English Translation (Griffith)
Free for the Maruts is the earth with sloping ways, free for the rushing Ones is heaven with steep descents. The paths of air's mid-region are precipitous, precipitous the mountains with their running streams.
