O Rudra, you who unbind and loosen, strike down the venomous; cleanse the firmament and dispel the poison. As when the Maruts swept away the dangers, so may you remove what is harmful to us and not injure us.
Powerful Rudras, you urge on the nights and days the firmament and the worlds; agitators (of all things), you toss the clouds like ships (in the sea), so (you throw down) the strong plural ces (of the enemy); but, Maruts you do no harm.
When, mighty Rudras, through the nights and through the days, when through the sky and realms of air, shakers of all, When over the broad fields ye drive along like ships, e'en to strongholds ye come, Maruts, but are not harmed.
