te'ruṇebhirvaramā piśaṅgaiḥ śubhe kaṃ yānti rathatūrbhiraśvaiḥ rukmo na citraḥ svadhitīvānpavyā rathasya jaṅghananta bhūma
They come adorned with ruddy beams and lovely ornaments, yoked to chariots with horses. Their gleam is splendid, varied as a goddess; around the chariot’s axle the earth resounds.
To what glorifier (of the gods) do they repair with their ruddy, tawny, car-bearing horses for his advantage? bright as burnished (gold), and armed with the thunderbolt, they furrow the earth with their chariot-wheels.
With their red-hued or, haply, tawny coursers which speed their chariots on, they come for glory. Brilliant like gold is he who holds the thunder. Earth have they smitten with the chariot's felly.
