Sanskrit Original
यो नो॑ मरुतो वृ॒कता॑ति॒ मर्त्यो॑ रि॒पुर्द॒धे व॑सवो॒ रक्ष॑ता रि॒षः । व॒र्तय॑त॒ तपु॑षा च॒क्रिया॒भि तमव॑ रुद्रा अ॒शसो॑ हन्तना॒ वधः॑
yo no maruto vṛkatāti martyo ripurdadhe vasavo rakṣatā riṣaḥ vartayata tapuṣā cakriyābhi tamava rudrā aśaso hantanā vadhaḥ
The Marut who made the mortal wolfish for our enemy—O Vasus, protect us, O seers. They sustained mighty rites; Rudra and the fierce ones slew with their swift might the slayer of falsehood.
Maruts, granters of dwellings, protect us from the malignity of the man who cherishes wolf-like enmity against us; encompass him with your burning diseases; ward off the murderous (weapon) of the devourer.
Save us, O Maruts, Vasus, from the injurer, the mortal foe who makes us looked upon as wolves. With chariot all aflame compass him round about: O Rudras, cast away the foeman's deadly bolt.
