Sanskrit Original
तव॑ श्रि॒ये म॒रुतो॑ मर्जयन्त॒ रुद्र॒ यत्ते॒ जनि॑म॒ चारु॑ चि॒त्रम् । प॒दं यद्विष्णो॑रुप॒मं नि॒धायि॒ तेन॑ पासि॒ गुह्यं॒ नाम॒ गोना॑म्
tava śriye maruto marjayanta rudra yatte janima cāru citram padaṃ yadviṣṇorupamaṃ nidhāyi tena pāsi guhyaṃ nāma gonām
For your glory the Maruts purify; Rudra fashioned for you a beautiful wondrous birth. Placing a foot like Vishṇu, you hide then the secret of the kine.
For your glory the Maruts sweep (the firmament), when your birth, Rudra, is beautiful and wonderful; the middle step of Viṣṇu has been plural ced, so you cherish the mysterious name of the waters.
The Maruts deck their beauty for thy glory, yea, Rudra! for thy birth fair, brightly-coloured. That which was fixed as Visnu's loftiest station-therewith the secret of the Cows thou guardest.
