Bibliotheca Polyglotta

1 WITH gleaming lances, with their breasts adorned with gold, the Maruts, rushing onward, hold high power of life. They hasten with swift steeds easy to be controlled. Their cars moved onward as they went to victory.

svayáṃ dadhidhve táviṣīṃ yáthā vidá br̥hán mahānta urviyā́ ví rājatha |
utā́ntárikṣam mamire ví ójasā śúbhaṃ yātā́m ánu ráthā avr̥tsata ||

2 Ye, as ye wist, have gained of your own selves your power: high, O ye Mighty Ones, and wide ye shine abroad. They with their strength have even measured out the sky. Their cars moved onward as they went to victory.

sākáṃ jātā́ḥ subhúvaḥ sākám ukṣitā́ḥ śriyé cid ā́ prataráṃ vāvr̥dhur náraḥ |
virokíṇaḥ sū́riyasyeva raśmáyaḥ śúbhaṃ yātā́m ánu ráthā avr̥tsata ||

3 Strong, born together, they together have waxed great: the Heroes more and more have grown to majesty Resplendent as the Sun's beams in their light are they. Their cars moved onward as they went to victory.

ābhūṣéṇyaṃ vo maruto mahitvanáṃ didr̥kṣéṇyaṃ sū́riyasyeva cákṣaṇam |
utó asmā́m̐ amr̥tatvé dadhātana śúbhaṃ yātā́m ánu ráthā avr̥tsata ||

4 Maruts, your mightiness deserves to be adored, sight to be longed for like the shining of the Sun. So lead us with your aid to immortality. Their cars moved onward as they went to victory.

úd īrayathā marutaḥ samudrató yūyáṃ vr̥ṣṭíṃ varṣayathā purīṣiṇaḥ |
ná vo dasrā úpa dasyanti dhenávaḥ śúbhaṃ yātā́m ánu ráthā avr̥tsata ||

5 O Maruts, from the Ocean ye uplift the rain, and fraught with vaporous moisture pour the torrents down. Never, ye Wonder-Workers, are your Milch-kine dry. Their cars moved onward as they went to victory.

yád áśvān dhūrṣú pŕ̥ṣatīr áyugdhuvaṃ hiraṇyáyān práti átkām̐ ámugdhuvam |
víśvā ít spŕ̥dho maruto ví asyatha śúbhaṃ yātā́m ánu ráthā avr̥tsata ||

6 When to your car-poles ye have yoked your spotted deer to be your steeds, and put your golden mantles on, O Maruts, ye disperse all enemies abroad. Their cars moved onward as they went to victory.

ná párvatā ná nadíyo varanta vo yátrā́cidhvam maruto gáchathéd u tát |
utá dyā́vāpr̥thivī́ yāthanā pári śúbhaṃ yātā́m ánu ráthā avr̥tsata ||

7 Neither the mountains nor the rivers keep you back: whither ye have resolved thither ye, Maruts, go. Ye compass round about even the heaven and earth. Their cars moved onward as they went to victory.

yát pūrviyám maruto yác ca nū́tanaṃ yád udyáte vasavo yác ca śasyáte |
víśvasya tásya bhavathā návedasaḥ śúbhaṃ yātā́m ánu ráthā avr̥tsata ||

8 Whate’er is ancient, Maruts, what of recent time, whate’er is spoken, Vasus, what is chanted forth, They who take cognizance of all of this are ye. Their cars moved onward as they went to victory.

mr̥̄ḷáta+ no maruto mā́ vadhiṣṭana asmábhyaṃ śárma bahuláṃ ví yantana |
ádhi stotrásya sakhiyásya gātana śúbhaṃ yātā́m ánu ráthā avr̥tsata ||

9 Be gracious unto us, ye Maruts, slay us not extend ye unto us shelter of many a sort. Pay due regard unto our friendship and our praise. Their cars moved onward as they went to victory.

yūyám asmā́n nayata vásyo áchā nír aṃhatíbhyo maruto gr̥ṇānā́ḥ |
juṣádhvaṃ no havyádātiṃ yajatrā vayáṃ siyāma pátayo rayīṇā́m ||

10 O Maruts, lead us on to higher fortune deliver us, when lauded, from afflictions. Accept, ye Holy Ones, the gifts we bring you. May we be masters of abundant riches.
