केश्य् अग्निं केशी विषं केशी बिभर्ति रोदसी । केशी विश्वं स्वर् दृशे केशीदं ज्योतिर् उच्यते ॥
keśy agniṃ keśī viṣaṃ keśī bibharti rodasī | keśī viśvaṃ svar dṛśe keśīdaṃ jyotir ucyate ||
He with the long loose locks supports Agni, and moisture, heaven, and earth: He is all sky to look upon: he with long hair is called this light.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
मुनयो वातरशनाः पिशङ्गा वसते मला । वातस्यानु ध्राजिं यन्ति यद् देवासो अविक्षत ॥
munayo vātaraśanāḥ piśaṅgā vasate malā | vātasyānu dhrājiṃ yanti yad devāso avikṣata ||
The Munis, girdled with the wind, wear garments soiled of yellow hue. They, following the wind's swift course go where the Gods have gone before.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
उन्मदिता मौनेयेन वातां आ तस्थिमा वयम् । शरीरेद् अस्माकं यूयम् मर्तासो अभि पश्यथ ॥
unmaditā mauneyena vātāṃ ā tasthimā vayam | śarīred asmākaṃ yūyam martāso abhi paśyatha ||
Transported with our Munihood we have pressed on into the winds: You therefore, mortal men. behold our natural bodies and no more.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अन्तरिक्षेण पतति विश्वा रूपावचाकशत् । मुनिर् देवस्य-देवस्य सौकृत्याय सखा हितः ॥
antarikṣeṇa patati viśvā rūpāvacākaśat | munir devasya-devasya saukṛtyāya sakhā hitaḥ ||
The Muni, made associate in the holy work of every God, Looking upon all varied forms flies through the region of the air.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
वातस्याश्वो वायोः सखाथो देवेषितो मुनिः । उभौ समुद्राव् आ क्षेति यश् च पूर्व उतापरः ॥
vātasyāśvo vāyoḥ sakhātho deveṣito muniḥ | ubhau samudrāv ā kṣeti yaś ca pūrva utāparaḥ ||
The Steed of Vata, Vayu's friend, the Muni, by the Gods impelled, In both the oceans hath his home, in eastern and in western sea.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अप्सरसां गन्धर्वाणाम् मृगाणां चरणे चरन् । केशी केतस्य विद्वान् सखा स्वादुर् मदिन्तमः ॥
apsarasāṃ gandharvāṇām mṛgāṇāṃ caraṇe caran | keśī ketasya vidvān sakhā svādur madintamaḥ ||
Treading the path of sylvan beasts, Gandharvas, and Apsarases, He with long locks, who knows the wish, is a sweet most delightful friend
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
वायुर् अस्मा उपामन्थत् पिनष्टि स्मा कुनन्नमा । केशी विषस्य पात्रेण यद् रुद्रेणापिबत् सह ॥
vāyur asmā upāmanthat pinaṣṭi smā kunannamā | keśī viṣasya pātreṇa yad rudreṇāpibat saha ||
Vayu hath churned for him: for him he poundeth things most hard to bend, When he with long loose locks hath drunk, with Rudra, water from the cup.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
