उदानट् ककुहो दिवमुष्ट्राञ्चतुर्युजो ददत् । श्रवसा याद्वं जनम्
Kakuha has raised up four-yoked camels to heaven and given them, with fame, to the Yadu people.
प्र यद्वस्त्रिष्टुभमिषं मरुतो विप्रो अक्षरत् । वि पर्वतेषु राजथ
When the priest recited the hymn in Triṣṭubh meter for the Maruts, you reign over the mountains.
यदङ्ग तविषीयवो यामं शुभ्रा अचिध्वम् । नि पर्वता अहासत
When, O powerful ones, you, shining, set out together, the mountains bowed down.
उदीरयन्त वायुभिर्वाश्रासः पृश्निमातरः । धुक्षन्त पिप्युषीमिषम्
The nourishing cows, daughters of Prishni, rise up with the winds; they pour forth the rich sustenance.

The Maruts shed rain, they make the mountains tremble; when they move with the winds.
नि यद्यामाय वो गिरिर्नि सिन्धवो विधर्मणे । महे शुष्माय येमिरे
If the mountain yields for your coming, if the rivers part for your path, they have submitted to your great might.
युष्माँ उ नक्तमूतये युष्मान्दिवा हवामहे । युष्मान्प्रयत्यध्वरे
Indeed, we call upon you at night for help, we invoke you by day; we seek you at every sacrifice.

Those shining ones with ruddy waters rise up with their teams; the nourishing cows upon the seat of heaven.
सृजन्ति रश्मिमोजसा पन्थां सूर्याय यातवे । ते भानुभिर्वि तस्थिरे
With their power they send forth rays, opening a path for the sun to travel; they have stood firm with their beams.
इमां मे मरुतो गिरमिमं स्तोममृभुक्षणः । इमं मे वनता हवम्
O Maruts, accept this song of mine, this praise, O enjoyers of offerings; accept this invocation of mine.
त्रीणि सरांसि पृश्नयो दुदुह्रे वज्रिणे मधु । उत्सं कवन्धमुद्रिणम्
The Prishnis have milked three streams of sweetness for the wielder of the bolt: the well, the hollow, the flowing spring.
मरुतो यद्ध वो दिवः सुम्नायन्तो हवामहे । आ तू न उप गन्तन
Maruts, when we invoke you from heaven, bringing favor, come to us here.
यूयं हि ष्ठा सुदानवो रुद्रा ऋभुक्षणो दमे । उत प्रचेतसो मदे
For you are truly generous, O Rudras, enjoyers of offerings in the home, and wise in the exhilaration.
आ नो रयिं मदच्युतं पुरुक्षुं विश्वधायसम् । इयर्ता मरुतो दिवः
May you, Maruts, send us wealth from heaven, abundant, all-sustaining, flowing with delight.
अधीव यद्गिरीणां यामं शुभ्रा अचिध्वम् । सुवानैर्मन्दध्व इन्दुभिः
When you, bright ones, hasten along the course of the mountains, rejoice with the pressed Soma juices.
एतावतश्चिदेषां सुम्नं भिक्षेत मर्त्यः । अदाभ्यस्य मन्मभिः
Even for this alone, a mortal may seek their favor, with the unassailable hymns.
ये द्रप्सा इव रोदसी धमन्त्यनु वृष्टिभिः । उत्सं दुहन्तो अक्षितम्

उदु स्वानेभिरीरत उद्रथैरुदु वायुभिः । उत्स्तोमैः पृश्निमातरः
They rise up with their sounds, with their chariots, with the winds, and with songs, the daughters of Prishni.
येनाव तुर्वशं यदुं येन कण्वं धनस्पृतम् । राये सु तस्य धीमहि
By this you protected Turvasha and Yadu, by this Kanva, the seeker of wealth; may we obtain the wealth of that one.
इमा उ वः सुदानवो घृतं न पिप्युषीरिषः । वर्धान्काण्वस्य मन्मभिः
These, O generous ones, are your nourishing gifts, like ghee, increasing with the hymns of Kanva.
क्व नूनं सुदानवो मदथा वृक्तबर्हिषः । ब्रह्मा को वः सपर्यति
Where now, O generous ones, do you rejoice, you who delight in the strewn grass? Who among the priests worships you?
नहि ष्म यद्ध वः पुरा स्तोमेभिर्वृक्तबर्हिषः । शर्धाँ ऋतस्य जिन्वथ
For never before have you, with hymns and strewn grass, roused the hosts of truth.
समु त्ये महतीरपः सं क्षोणी समु सूर्यम् । सं वज्रं पर्वशो दधुः
Together the great waters, together the earths, together the sun, together the joints have placed the thunderbolt.

The flashing, golden-crested, swift ones, with lightning in their hands, revealed their shining forms for glory.
उशना यत्परावत उक्ष्णो रन्ध्रमयातन । द्यौर्न चक्रदद्भिया
When Ushanas, at a distance, sought the opening of the bull, heaven did not tremble in fear.
आ नो मखस्य दावनेऽश्वैर्हिरण्यपाणिभिः । देवास उप गन्तन
Come to us for the distribution of the feast, O gods, with horses whose hands are golden.
यदेषां पृषती रथे प्रष्टिर्वहति रोहितः । यान्ति शुभ्रा रिणन्नपः
When the spotted ones in the chariot are drawn by the red leader, the shining ones go, cleaving the waters.
