Ṛgveda 1.37.10

Interpretations

Kapali Shastri

Translation

The verse describes the prowess of the speech of the Maruts. It has been described how even mountains crash. Here it is said how they spread out the Waters and the Kine are urged to obtain them by entering on their knees.

The Maruts are well-known as brethren of Indra. Following up the action of Indra, they spiead out the energies of nourishment (symbolised by waters) and thereby promote and impel of the currents of consciousness (symbolised by cows.)

Commentary

Generators of speech, they throw up the Water, in their courses; they impel the lowing Kine to proceed on their knees.
