On shoulders of the winds to race,

My children, drest in heavenly forms,

Far-famed as Maruts, Gods of storms.

One God to Brahmá's sphere assign,

Let one, O Indra, watch o'er thine;

And ranging through the lower air,

The third the name of Váyu[214] bear.

Gods let the four remaining be,

And roam through space, obeying thee.”
