They increased in their hymns with greatness; they stood firm like necks, and the feet they set unshaken. Vishnu, when he ran, struck down the bull and the unerring moved; may he not sit upon the beloved hymn-press.

Confiding in their own strength, they have increased in (power); they have attained heaven by their greatness, and have made (for themselves) a spacious abode; may they, for whom Viṣṇu defends (the sacrifice) that bestows all desires and confers delight, come (quickly), like birds, and sit down upon the plural asant and sacred grass.

Strong in their native strength to greatness have they grown, stepped to the firmament and made their dwelling wide. When Visnu saved the Soma bringing wild delight, the Maruts sate like birds on their dear holy grass.
