O Marut, be our strong guardian, lord of heroes; may your band cross over paths and pass through foes. Let not the mighty overwhelm us; be present with good thought and steadfastness.
May that blazing (weapon) of your, Maruts, be far from us, although, through human infirmities, we offeryou offence; let us not, adorable Maruts, be exposed to your (shaft); may your favour the source of abundance,ever be shown to us.
Far from us be your blazing dart, O Maruts, when we, through human frailty, sin against you. Let us not he exposed to that, ye Holy! May your most loving favour still attend us.
