Whoever among you Maruts hates the injurer and desires the overthrow of treacherous minds — loosen the bonds of malice, release him by fierce intent, strike down the slayer.
The man, Maruts, who wounds our feelings, he who, rebuked by all, yet seeks, Vasus, to kill us, hewoudl bind us in the wounds of (Varuṇa), the avenger (of iniquity), such a man do you destroy with a consumingfatal weapon.
Maruts, the man whose wrath is hard to master, he who would slay us ere we think, O Vasus, May he be tangled in the toils of mischief; smite ye him down with your most flaming weapon.
