Resting in silence for a year,

As Brahmans practising a vow,

The frogs have lifted up their voice,

Excited when Parjanya comes.

When one repeats the utterance of the other

Like those who learn the lesson of their teacher,

Then every limb of yours seems to be swelling,

As eloquent ye prate upon the waters.

As Brahmans at the mighty soma offering

Sit round the large and brimming vessel talking,
