Cut the great bonds, those that I now proclaim; give us the brave flood for our welfare. May our glorious ones come forward pursuing the fleeting foe and slay the mortal enemy.

Mighty Maruts, of goodly aspect, quickly hear (the praises) that we who repair to you repeat, offering acceptable (oblations); (the Maruts) coming hither, well disposed, come down to us, (destroying) with their weapons the mortals opposed to them, (overcome) by agitation.

We know your ways, ye Mighty Ones receiving choice meed, ye Wonderful, we will proclaim it. Even strong birds descend not to the mortal who strives to reach them with swift blow and weapons.
