वायुं जवेन सहसा असहद्भिर्गतिक्रमैः ।
प्रोह्यद्भिरिव पश्चार्धमापिबद्भिरिवाम्बरम् ॥ ८ ॥

vāyuṃ javena sahasā asahadbhirgatikramaiḥ |
prohyadbhiriva paścārdhamāpibadbhirivāmbaram || 8 ||

Being impatient of the swiftness of the winds, they spurred them with their hinder heels and left them behind, and sped the forepart of their bodies as if to devour the air, impeding their course.
