न स जी॑यते मरुतो॒ न ह॑न्यते॒ न स्रे॑धति॒ न व्य॑थते॒ न रि॑ष्यति । नास्य॒ राय॒ उप॑ दस्यन्ति॒ नोतय॒ ऋषिं॑ वा॒ यं राजा॑नं वा॒ सुषू॑दथ
na sa jīyate maruto na hanyate na sredhati na vyathate na riṣyati nāsya rāya upa dasyanti notaya ṛṣiṃ vā yaṃ rājānaṃ vā suṣūdatha
The Maruts are neither conquered nor slain; they do not retreat, nor are they distressed, nor do they grow angry. No wealth will deprive them, nor will any sage or king injure them.
The sage, or the sovereign, whom you, Maruts, direct, is never overcome nor slain; he perishes not, nor suffers pain, nor undergoes injury, nor are his riches or his safety imperilled.
Never is he, O Maruts, slain or overcome, never doth he decay ne'er is distressed or harmed; His treasures, his resources, never waste away, whom. whether he be prince or Rsi, ye direct.
