Men of greatness shone like the rocks; the Maruts, like winds, struck the towering hills. In that bay of waters they were often wrapped around, having bound the swelling breast with the strength of the roaring ones.

vya1ktūnrudrā vyahāni śikvaso vya1ntarikṣaṃ vi rajāṃsi dhūtayaḥ vi yadajrām̐ ajatha nāva īṃ yathā vi durgāṇi maruto nāha riṣyatha
O Rudra, you who unbind and loosen, strike down the venomous; cleanse the firmament and dispel the poison. As when the Maruts swept away the dangers, so may you remove what is harmful to us and not injure us.

That valor of yours, O Maruts, the greatness wide and far — the Sun does not equal it by a yojana. Those are the nights not seized by lamentation, those steeds that do not weary, by which you ascend the mountain by rightful effort.

abhrāji śardho maruto yadarṇasaṃ moṣathā vṛkṣaṃ kapaneva vedhasaḥ adha smā no aramatiṃ sajoṣasaścakṣuriva yantamanu neṣathā sugam
O Maruts, like clouds you stripped away what clung to the bark of the tree; bestow upon us the unfading radiance, as if opening the eye, and grant us the desirable path.

na sa jīyate maruto na hanyate na sredhati na vyathate na riṣyati nāsya rāya upa dasyanti notaya ṛṣiṃ vā yaṃ rājānaṃ vā suṣūdatha

In the portions, O Rishis, on the winged steeds, the swift golden Maruts carry the auspicious chariot; like blazing Agni and lightning they spread quickly over the heads of the atmosphere, bearing the golden-braided ones.

Not unarmed, not unhonored, he seized him who lamented not; the Maruts smoked the pippala and cried out together; they drove off the hosts that made a din, the spread-out, the deathless ones.

May the Marut make the king thoughtful and prosperous for you, a charioteer in the prime of life; he who does not give (you) is like the summer of heaven for us—May the Maruts together grant a thousandfold boon.
