Rig Veda
madhvo vo nāma mārutaṃ yajatrāḥ pra yajñeṣu śavasā madanti ye rejayanti rodasī cid urvī pinvanty utsaṃ yad ayāsur ugrāḥ
Yea, through the power of your sweet juice, ye Holy! the Marut host is glad at sacrifices. They cause even spacious heaven and earth to tremble, they make the spring flow when they come, the Mighty.
nicetāro hi maruto gṛṇantam praṇetāro yajamānasya manma asmākam adya vidatheṣu barhir ā vītaye sadata pipriyāṇāḥ
The Maruts watch the man who sings their praises, promoters of the thought of him who worships. Seat you on sacred grass in our assembly, this day, with friendly minds, to share the banquet.
ā rodasī viśvapiśaḥ piśānāḥ samānam añjy añjate śubhe kam
No others gleam so brightly as these Maruts with their own forms, their golden gauds, their weapons. With all adornments, decking earth and heaven, they heighten, for bright show, their common splendour.
ṛdhak sā vo maruto didyud astu yad va āgaḥ puruṣatā karāma mā vas tasyām api bhūmā yajatrā asme vo astu sumatiś caniṣṭhā
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.
kṛte cid atra maruto raṇantānavadyāsaḥ śucayaḥ pāvakāḥ pra ṇo 'vata sumatibhir yajatrāḥ pra vājebhis tirata puṣyase naḥ
May even what we have done delight the Maruts, the blameless Ones, the bright, the purifying. Further us, O ye Holy, with your kindness: advance us mightily that we may prosper.
uta stutāso maruto vyantu viśvebhir nāmabhir naro havīṃṣi dadāta no amṛtasya prajāyai jigṛta rāyaḥ sūnṛtā maghāni
And may the Maruts, praised by all their titles, Heroes, enjoy the taste of our oblations. Give us of Amrita for the sake of offspring: awake the excellent fair stores of riches.
ā stutāso maruto viśva ūtī acchā sūrīn sarvatātā jigāta ye nas tmanā śatino vardhayanti yūyam pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ
Hither, ye Maruts, praised, with all your succours, with all felicity come to our princes, Who, of themselves, a hundredfold increase us. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
