Sanskrit text [Accents, Plain, Transliterated]:
प्र ये दि॒वो बृ॑ह॒तः शृ॑ण्वि॒रे गि॒रा सु॒शुक्वा॑नः सु॒भ्व॑ एव॒याम॑रुत् । न येषा॒मिरी॑ स॒धस्थ॒ ईष्ट॒ आँ अ॒ग्नयो॒ न स्ववि॑द्युत॒: प्र स्य॒न्द्रासो॒ धुनी॑नाम् ॥
प्र ये दिवो बृहतः शृण्विरे गिरा सुशुक्वानः सुभ्व एवयामरुत् । न येषामिरी सधस्थ ईष्ट आँ अग्नयो न स्वविद्युतः प्र स्यन्द्रासो धुनीनाम् ॥
pra ye divo bṛhataḥ śṛṇvire girā suśukvānaḥ subhva evayāmarut | na yeṣām irī sadhastha īṣṭa ām̐ agnayo na svavidyutaḥ pra syandrāso dhunīnām ||
English translation:
“Evayāmarut, glorifies with praise those who, (coming) brilliant and happy from the vast heaven, hear (his invocation); in whose dwelling there is no one able to disturb them, and who, like self-radiant fires, are the impellers of the rivers.”
Commentary by Sāyaṇa: Ṛgveda-bhāṣya
In whose dwelling thereis: na yeṣām iri sadhasthe iṣṭe = marutam svakīye nivāse tiṣṭhatām preritā na iṣṭe na iṣṭate cālayitum, there is no impeller who has power to cause the movement of the Maruts when abiding in their own abode; impellers of the rivers: i.e., lightning as associated with rain, may be considered as giving impulse to the rivers
