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.

Transported with our Munihood we have pressed on into the winds: You therefore, mortal men. behold our natural bodies and no more.
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.
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.
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
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.
