Sanskrit Original
अत्या॑सो॒ न ये म॒रुतः॒ स्वञ्चो॑ यक्ष॒दृशो॒ न शु॒भय॑न्त॒ मर्याः॑ । ते ह॑र्म्ये॒ष्ठाः शिश॑वो॒ न शु॒भ्रा व॒त्सासो॒ न प्र॑क्री॒ळिनः॑ पयो॒धाः
atyāso na ye marutaḥ svañco yakṣadṛśo na śubhayanta maryāḥ te harmyeṣṭhāḥ śiśavo na śubhrā vatsāso na prakrīḷinaḥ payodhāḥ
Not those Maruts who are slothful or like gazers at wealth—those do not make auspicious the bounds. They are the foremost, the youthful, not fair calves, not playful drinkers of the sacrificial dairy.
The swift-moving Maruts are like rapid horses, shining like men gazing at a festival innocent as childrenin the (paternal) mansion, frolicsome as calves, they are the dispensers of water.
The Maruts, fleet as coursers, while they deck them like youths spectators of a festal meeting, Linger, like beauteous colts, about the dwelling, like frisking calves, these who pour down the water.
