vātatviṣo maruto varṣanirṇijo yamā iva susadṛśaḥ supeśasaḥ piśaṅgāśvā aruṇāśvā arepasaḥ pratvakṣaso mahinā dyaurivoravaḥ
The Marut, like a wind-born rain, is like Yama in appearance, well-robed and of good conduct; reddish-maned, tawny-maned, swift-hoofed, with bright faces, they are like the heaven's mighty chariot-wheels.
The Maruts, radiant with light, purifiers of the rain, like twins of goodly aspect and graceful form, masters of tawny and of ruddy steeds, devoid of guile, thinners (of foes) and vast in magnitude as the sky.
Bright with the blasts of wind, wrapped in their robes of rain, like twins of noble aspect and of lovely form, The Maruts, spotless, with steeds tawnyhued and red, strong in their mightiness and spreading wide like heaven.
