10.168 The Gale Wind

This hymn is to Vâta, a particularly violent and concrete form of the wind.

1 O, the power and glory of the chariot of the gale! It breaks things into pieces as it passes by, making a sound like thunder. Touching the sky as it moves, it makes red streaks;1 passing along the earth, it scatters the dust.

2 The tempests2 race together after the gale; they come to him like women to a rendezvous. Yoked with them to a single chariot, the god who is the king of this whole universe passes by.

3 Moving along his paths in the middle realm of space , he does not rest even for a single day. Friend of the waters, first-born keeper of the Law, where was he born? What was he created from?

4 Breath of the gods, embryo of the universe, this god wanders wherever he pleases. His sounds are heard, but his form is not seen.3 Let us worship the gale with oblation.
