Atharva Veda
To the Maruts
kṛṣṇaṃ niyānaṃ harayaḥ suparṇā apo vasānā divam ut patanti ta āvavṛtrant sadanād ṛtasyād id ghṛtena pṛthivīṃ vy ūduḥ
To the Maruts
Black the down-track, the yellow eagles, clothing themselves in waters, fly up to the sky; they have come hither from the seat of righteousness (ṛtá); then, forsooth, with ghee they deluged the earth.
payasvatīḥ kṛṇuthāpa oṣadhīḥ śivā yad ejathā maruto rukmavakṣasaḥ ūrjaṃ ca tatra sumatiṃ ca pinvata yatrā naro marutaḥ siñcathā madhu
Ye make the waters rich in milk, the herbs propitious, when ye bestir yourselves, O golden-backed Maruts; do ye lavish (pinv) both sustenance and good-will there, where, O manly Maruts, ye pour honey.
udapruto marutas tāṃ iyarta vṛṣṭir yā viśvā nivatas pṛṇāti ejāti glahā kanyeva tunnairuṃ tundānā patyeva jāyā
Water-swimming [are] the Maruts; send ye that rain which shall fill all the hollows; the gláhā shall bestir itself, like a girl that is thrust, thrusting the éru, like wife with husband.
