स्थि॒रा वः॑ स॒न्त्वायु॑धा परा॒णुदे॑ वी॒ळू उ॒त प्र॑ति॒ष्कभे॑ । यु॒ष्माक॑मस्तु॒ तवि॑षी॒ पनी॑यसी॒ मा मर्त्य॑स्य मा॒यिनः॑
sthirā vaḥ santvāyudhā parāṇude vīḷū uta pratiṣkabhe yuṣmākamastu taviṣī panīyasī mā martyasya māyinaḥ
May you be steady, O Maruts, protecting life, quick to help, mighty in uplift. May your poison be away from us; do not be makers of death, O magicians.
Strong be your weapons for driving away (your) foes, firm in resisting them; yours be the strength that merits praise, not (the strength) of a treacherous mortal.
Strong let your weapons be to drive away your foes, firm for resistance let them be. Yea, passing glorious must be your warrior might, not as a guileful mortal's strength.
