May the Sacrifice, the Sacrificer, and you two, with minds aligned, together accept and give forth to the gods; may the eastern, auspicious breeze carry your praise to the radiant one, with abundant offerings and well-formed hymns.
Maruts, at every sacrifice your alacrity is uniform; you, verily, discharge your every function for the benefit of the gods; therefore, do I invite you to come hither, by sacred hymns, for (the sake of) your powerful protection of heaven and earth, and your benevolent praise.
SWIFT gain is his who hath you near at every rite: ye welcome every song of himwho serves the Gods. So may I turn you hither with fair hymns of praise to give great succour for the weal of both the worlds.
