Sanskrit Original
ए॒वेदे॒ते प्रति॑ मा॒ रोच॑माना॒ अने॑द्यः॒ श्रव॒ एषो॒ दधा॑नाः । सं॒चक्ष्या॑ मरुतश्च॒न्द्रव॑र्णा॒ अच्छा॑न्त मे छ॒दया॑था च नू॒नम्
evedete prati mā rocamānā anedyaḥ śrava eṣo dadhānāḥ saṃcakṣyā marutaścandravarṇā acchānta me chadayāthā ca nūnam
Thus these, when not gratifying me, gave ear; the Marut of moonlike hue will cover me with a sure shelter as with a cloak, indeed.
Maruts, verily, glorifying me, and enjoying boundless fame and food (through my favour), edo you, of golden colour, and invested with glory, cover me in requital verily, (with renown).
Here, truly, they send forth their sheen to meet me, wearing their blameless glory and their vigour. When I have seen you, Matuts, in gay splendour, ye have delighted me, so now delight me.
