< The Rig Veda < Mandala 5
1. THOU, of a truth, O Prthivi, bearest the tool that rends the hills:
     Thou rich in torrents, who with might quickenest earth, O Mighty One.
2. To thee, O wanderer at will, ring out the lauds with beams of day,
     Who drivest, like a neighing steed, the swelling cloud, O bright of hue.
3. Who graspest with thy might on earth. e'en the strong sovrans of the wood,
     When from the lightning of thy cloud the rain-floods of the heaven descend.
