Sanskrit Original
इ॒मं न॑रो मरुतः सश्च॒तानु॒ दिवो॑दासं॒ न पि॒तरं॑ सु॒दासः॑ । अ॒वि॒ष्टना॑ पैजव॒नस्य॒ केतं॑ दू॒णाशं॑ क्ष॒त्रम॒जरं॑ दुवो॒यु
imaṃ naro marutaḥ saścatānu divodāsaṃ na pitaraṃ sudāsaḥ aviṣṭanā paijavanasya ketaṃ dūṇāśaṃ kṣatramajaraṃ duvoyu
This man is not the friend of Maruts, nor their offspring, not the giver from heaven, not the generous father; he entered the plated host, the banner of the warrior, the hard abode of twofold might.
Maruts, leaders (of rites), attend upon this (prince) as you did upon Divodāsa, the father of Sudāsa;favour the prayers of the devout son of Pijavana, and may his strength be unimpaired, undecaying].
Attend on him O ye heroic Maruts as on Sudas's father Divodasa. Further Paijavana's desire with favour. Guard faithfully his lasting firm dominion.
