Sanskrit Original
परा॑ शु॒भ्रा अ॒यासो॑ य॒व्या सा॑धार॒ण्येव॑ म॒रुतो॑ मिमिक्षुः । न रो॑द॒सी अप॑ नुदन्त घो॒रा जु॒षन्त॒ वृधं॑ स॒ख्याय॑ दे॒वाः
parā śubhrā ayāso yavyā sādhāraṇyeva maruto mimikṣuḥ na rodasī apa nudanta ghorā juṣanta vṛdhaṃ sakhyāya devāḥ
The highest bright realms of barley, common as the pasture, the Maruts have examined; not the weepers nor the terrifying ones implore—gods rejoice in increasing fellowship.
The radiant, ever-moving Maruts, have mingled with (their) associate, (lightning), like (youths) with common women; the formidable divinities do not overwhelm heaven and earth (with rain), but promote their prosperity through (friendly) regard.
Far off the brilliant, never-weary Maruts cling to the young Maid as a joint possession. The fierce Gods drave not Rodasi before them, but wished for her to grow their friend and fellow.
