1. Gold-Hued! as one who giveth strength flow on for Gods to drink, a draught
For Vayu and the Marut host!

2. The Steer shines brightly with the Gods, dear Sage in his appointed home.
Even Pavamana unbeguiled.

3. O Pavamana, sent by prayer, roaring about thy dwelling-place,
Ascend to Vayu as Law bids!
