The Maruts, striking like torrents, with daring vigour and radiant strength like swift stags, terrible with fierce forms, poured forth and uncovered the waters with blazing weapons around Agni.
The Maruts, shedders of showers, endowed with resistless might, like formidable lions, reverencing (the world) by their energies, resplendent as fires, laden with water, and blowing about the wandering cloud, give vent to its (collected) rain.
THE Maruts of resistless might who love the rain, resplendent, terrible like wild beasts in their strength, Glowing like flames of fire, impetuous in career, blowing the wandering raincloud, have disclosed the kine.
