Rig Veda
huve vo devīm aditiṃ namobhir mṛﾱīkāya varuṇam mitram agnim abhikṣadām aryamaṇaṃ suśevaṃ trātṝn devān savitāram bhagaṃ ca
I call with prayers on Aditi your Goddess, on Agni, Mitra, Varuna for favour, On Aryaman who gives unasked, the gracious, on Gods who save, on Savitar and Bhaga.
sujyotiṣaḥ sūrya dakṣapitṝn anāgāstve sumaho vīhi devān dvijanmāno ya ṛtasāpaḥ satyāḥ svarvanto yajatā agnijihvāḥ
Visit, to prove us free from sin, O Surya Lord of great might, the bright Gods sprung from Daksha, Twice-born and true, observing sacred duties, Holy and full of light, whose tongue is Agni.
uta dyāvāpṛthivī kṣatram uru bṛhad rodasī śaraṇaṃ suṣumne mahas karatho varivo yathā no 'sme kṣayāya dhiṣaṇe anehaḥ
And, O ye Heaven and Earth, a wide dominion, O ye most blissful Worlds, our lofty shelter, Give ample room and freedom for our dwelling, a home, ye Hemispheres, which none may rival.

This day invited may the Sons of Rudra, resistless, excellent, stoop down to meet us; For, when beset with slight or sore affliction, we ever call upon the Gods, the Maruts;
mimyakṣa yeṣu rodasī nu devī siṣakti pūṣā abhyardhayajvā śrutvā havam maruto yaddha yātha bhūmā rejante adhvani pravikte
To whom the Goddess Rodasi clings closely, whom Pushan follows bringing ample bounty. What time ye hear our call and come, O Maruts, upon your separate path all creatures tremble.
