Translations signed

When, Maruts, on the steeps ye pile the moving cloud, ye are like birds on whatsoever path it be. Clouds everywhere shed forth the rain upon your cars. Drop fatness, honey-hued, for him who sings your praise.

Ralph T.H. GriffithThe Hymns of the Rigveda, translated with a popular commentary, 1896 · public domain

Listen

No recitation by a named reciter exists for this verse yet. Around eleven śākhās are still recited by an unbroken chain of teachers, and recording them is the most time-critical work in this project. If you recite, please get in touch.
