गन्ता॑ नो य॒ज्ञं य॑ज्ञियाः सु॒शमि॒ श्रोता॒ हव॑मर॒क्ष ए॑व॒याम॑रुत् । ज्येष्ठा॑सो॒ न पर्व॑तासो॒ व्यो॑मनि यू॒यं तस्य॑ प्रचेतसः॒ स्यात॑ दु॒र्धर्त॑वो नि॒दः
gantā no yajñaṃ yajñiyāḥ suśami śrotā havamarakṣa evayāmarut jyeṣṭhāso na parvatāso vyomani yūyaṃ tasya pracetasaḥ syāta durdhartavo nidaḥ
May the priests, the ritualists, lead us to the sacrifice; they hear well and keep the oblation — O Marut, they watch the hymn. You are elders, mountains in the sky; of his understanding may you be hard to pierce in battle.
Adorable Maruts come to our sacrifice, so that it may be prosperous; hear, undeterred by rākṣasas, the invocation of Evayāmarut; abiding like lofty mountains in mid-heaven, do you, who are profoundly wise, be ever intolerant of the reviler.
Come to our sacrifice, ye Hnly Ones, to bless it, and, free from demons, hear our call, Evayamarut. Most excellent, like mountains in the air's raid-region, be irresistible, ye, Wise, to this man'a hater. RIG VEDA - BOOK THE SIXTH
