vā́tasya nú mahimā́naṃ ráthasya rujánn eti stanáyann asya ghóṣaḥ |
divispŕ̥g yāti aruṇā́ni kr̥ṇvánn utó eti pr̥thivyā́ reṇúm ásyan || 
1 O THE Wind's chariot, O its power and glory! Crashing it goes and hath a voice of thunder. It makes the regions red and touches heaven, and as it moves the dust of earth is scattered. 
sám prérate ánu vā́tasya viṣṭhā́ aínaṃ gachanti sámanaṃ ná yóṣāḥ |
tā́bhiḥ sayúk saráthaṃ devá īyate asyá víśvasya bhúvanasya rā́jā || 
2 Along the traces of the Wind they hurry, they come to him as dames to an assembly. Borne on his car with these for his attendants, the God speeds forth, the universe's Monarch. 
antárikṣe pathíbhir ī́yamāno ná ní viśate katamác canā́haḥ |
apā́ṃ sákhā prathamajā́ r̥tā́vā kúva svij jātáḥ kúta ā́ babhūva || 
3 Travelling on the paths of air's mid-region, no single day doth he take rest or slumber. Holy and earliest-born, Friend of the waters, where did he spring and from what region came he? 
ātmā́ devā́nām bhúvanasya gárbho yathāvaśáṃ carati devá eṣáḥ |
ghóṣā íd asya śr̥ṇvire ná rūpáṃ tásmai vā́tāya havíṣā vidhema || 
4 Germ of the world, the Deities’ vital spirit, this God moves ever as his will inclines him. His voice is heard, his shape is ever viewless. Let us adore this Wind with our oblation.
