He who by his own power set the heavens in motion, who alone wrought not vainly, by what thought did he stir the breath of life? Born with the wind, swift of wing, the Maruts shine like keen‑sighted ones.
Mutually supported, they descend readily from the sky; immortal Maruts, animate us by your own words (to praise you); exempt from toil, present at many (sacrifices), brilliant-eyed, the Maruts ahve shaken the firmest mountains.
Self-yoked they have descended lightly from the sky. With your own lash, Immortals, urge yourselve's to speed. Unstained by dust the Maruts, mighty in their strength, have cast down e'en firm things, armed with their shining spears.
