yadī manthanti bāhubhirvi rocate'śvo na vājyaruṣo vaneṣvā citro na yāmannaśvinoranivṛtaḥ pari vṛṇaktyaśmanastṛṇā dahan
If they churn with arms, the steed delights; if not, the rapid charger falters in the woods. The wondrous Nasatya horses, not restrained, encompassed with stones and grass and burnt wood.
When they rub (the sticks) with their arms the radiant Agni bursts forth from the wood like a fleet courser, and like the many-coloured car of the Aśvins unresisted in its course, Agni spreads wide around consuming stones and trees.
When with their arms they rub him straight he shineth forth like a strong courser, red in colour, in the wood. Bright, checkless, as it were upon the Atvins' path, lie passeth by the stones and burneth up the grass.
