  2. Ṛgveda 1.88.2, English With their red-hued or, haply, tawny coursers which speed their chariots on, they come for glory. Brilliant like gold is he who holds the thunder. Earth have they smitten with the chariot's felly. Ralph T.H. Griffith
  3. Ṛgveda 1.88.3, English For beauty ye have swords upon your bodies. As they stir woods so may they stir our spirits. For your sake, O ye Maruts very mighty and well-born, have they set the stone, in motion. Ralph T.H. Griffith
  4. Ṛgveda 1.88.4, English The days went round you and came back O yearners, back, to this prayer and to this solemn worship. The Gotamas making their prayer with singing have pushed the well's lid up to drink the water. Ralph T.H. Griffith
