From whom the rains of immortality flowed, who gave royal nourishment and gifts of oblation—they bestowed; the Maruts, like benefactors, poured forth upon him milk and butter for the people.
To him, the presenter (of offerings), the protecting and immortal Maruts, (gratified) by the oblation, have given abundance of riches; they, the bestowers of happiness, becoming, as it were, the friends (of the worshipper), sprinkle the regions plural ntifully with water.
To whomsoever, bringer of oblations, they immortal guardians, have given plenteous wealth, For him, like loving friends, the Maruts bringing bliss bedew the regions round with milk abundantly.
