अ॒द्वे॒षो नो॑ मरुतो गा॒तुमेत॑न॒ श्रोता॒ हवं॑ जरि॒तुरे॑व॒याम॑रुत् । विष्णो॑र्म॒हः स॑मन्यवो युयोतन॒ स्मद्र॒थ्यो॒३॒॑ न दं॒सनाप॒ द्वेषां॑सि सनु॒तः
adveṣo no maruto gātumetana śrotā havaṃ jariturevayāmarut viṣṇormahaḥ samanyavo yuyotana smadrathyo3 na daṃsanāpa dveṣāṃsi sanutaḥ
O Marut, may no enmity fall upon us; they are the listeners who know the rite, even old with offering. Great Vishnu brings us near; you are not to be bitten by hatred, O honored ones.
Maruts, devoid of enmity, come to our proffered praise, hear the invocation of your adorer, Evayāmarut; do you, who are associated in the worship of Viṣṇu drive away, as warriors (scatter their enemies), our secret foes.
Come in a friendly spirit, come to us, O Maruts, and hear his call who praises you, Evayamarut. Like car-borne men, one-minded with the mighty Visnu, keep enmity far from us with your deeds of wonder.
