आ यु॑वानः कवयो यज्ञियासो॒ मरु॑तो ग॒न्त गृ॑ण॒तो व॑र॒स्याम् । अ॒चि॒त्रं चि॒द्धि जिन्व॑था वृ॒धन्त॑ इ॒त्था नक्ष॑न्तो नरो अङ्गिर॒स्वत् ॥

ā yuvānaḥ kavayo yajñiyāso maruto ganta gṛṇato varasyām | acitraṃ cid dhi jinvathā vṛdhanta itthā nakṣanto naro aṅgirasvat ||
English translation:
“Ever youthful wise, and adorable Maruts, come to the praise of your adorer; thus augmenting, leaders (of rites), and spreading (through the firmament), like rays (of light), refresh the scanty woods (with rain).”
Commentary by Sāyaṇa: Ṛgveda-bhāṣya
Like rays of light: nakṣanto aṅgirasvat = aṅgirasaḥ gamanaśīlāraśmayaḥ, rays endowed with motions; te yatha śīghram nabhastalam vyāpnuvanti tad vat, as they spread quickly through the sky, so) do the winds; or, if aṅgirasa is a reference to a ṛṣi, the property of rapid movement is assigned to the ṛṣis: yad va ṛṣayastad vacchīghragāminaḥ
