पर्वतश्चिन्महि वृद्धो बिभाय दिवश्चित्सानु रेजत स्वने वः । यत्क्रीळथ मरुत ऋष्टिमन्त आप इव सध्र्यञ्चो धवध्वे
Even the great, grown mountain is afraid, and the summit of heaven trembles at your sound; when you, Maruts, play with your spears, you rush together like waters in unison.
वरा इवेद्रैवतासो हिरण्यैरभि स्वधाभिस्तन्वः पिपिश्रे । श्रिये श्रेयांसस्तवसो रथेषु सत्रा महांसि चक्रिरे तनूषु
Like splendid ones, adorned with gold, they have covered their bodies with their own power; for glory, the most glorious, strong in their chariots, together they have accomplished great deeds in their forms.
अज्येष्ठासो अकनिष्ठास एते सं भ्रातरो वावृधुः सौभगाय । युवा पिता स्वपा रुद्र एषां सुदुघा पृश्निः सुदिना मरुद्भ्यः
These are neither eldest nor youngest; brothers all, they have grown together for good fortune. Their youthful father, wise Rudra, and their nourishing mother Prisni, grant fair days to the Maruts.
यदुत्तमे मरुतो मध्यमे वा यद्वावमे सुभगासो दिवि ष्ठ । अतो नो रुद्रा उत वा न्वस्याग्ने वित्ताद्धविषो यद्यजाम
Whatever, O Maruts, is highest, or in the middle, or lowest, O fortunate ones, that is yours in heaven—of that, O Rudras, or perhaps of Agni, may we gain knowledge from the offering if we have invoked it.
अग्निश्च यन्मरुतो विश्ववेदसो दिवो वहध्व उत्तरादधि ष्णुभिः । ते मन्दसाना धुनयो रिशादसो वामं धत्त यजमानाय सुन्वते
When you, O all-knowing Agni and Maruts, bring from the highest heaven with your chariots, may those joyous, generous, and liberal ones grant wealth to the worshipper who pours the libation.
अग्ने मरुद्भिः शुभयद्भिरृक्वभिः सोमं पिब मन्दसानो गणश्रिभिः । पावकेभिर्विश्वमिन्वेभिरायुभिर्वैश्वानर प्रदिवा केतुना सजूः
Agni, together with the Maruts, shining and chanting, drink the Soma, delighted, with your splendid hosts; with your pure, all-pervading, immortal flames, O universal Agni, come with your sign from heaven.
के ष्ठा नरः श्रेष्ठतमा य एकएक आयय । परमस्याः परावतः
Which among you, O men, are the most excellent, who have come one by one from the farthest distance?
क्व वोऽश्वाः क्वाभीशवः कथं शेक कथा यय । पृष्ठे सदो नसोर्यमः
Where are your horses? Where are your reins? How did you manage, and how did you come? Who sits behind you as your companion?
जघने चोद एषां वि सक्थानि नरो यमुः । पुत्रकृथे न जनयः
At their back is the goad, their thighs are spread apart, O men; like fathers for the sake of sons.
परा वीरास एतन मर्यासो भद्रजानयः । अग्नितपो यथासथ
Go forth, O heroes, O youthful ones of noble birth; as you are kindled by Agni, so may you be.
सनत्साश्व्यं पशुमुत गव्यं शतावयम् । श्यावाश्वस्तुताय या दोर्वीरायोपबर्बृहत्
May you grant us the wealth of Sanatśāśva, and cattle, and a hundredfold abundance, for the one praised by Śyāvāśva, you who are generous with your arms.
उत त्वा स्त्री शशीयसी पुंसो भवति वस्यसी । अदेवत्रादराधसः
And you, O woman, become more desirable than a man, more sought after, when you are not devoted to the godless and the irreverent.
वि या जानाति जसुरिं वि तृष्यन्तं वि कामिनम् । देवत्रा कृणुते मनः
She discerns the cunning one, the thirsty one, the desiring one; she directs her mind towards the divine.
उत घा नेमो अस्तुतः पुमाँ इति ब्रुवे पणिः । स वैरदेय इत्समः
Yet, indeed, the unpraised one says, 'I am a man'; he is a Pani, an enemy, always the same.
उत मेऽरपद्युवतिर्ममन्दुषी प्रति श्यावाय वर्तनिम् । वि रोहिता पुरुमीळ्हाय येमतुर्विप्राय दीर्घयशसे
And the youthful, eager woman has not approached me; the path has turned towards Śyāvā, while the red ones have chosen the long-famed sage, much invoked.
यो मे धेनूनां शतं वैददश्विर्यथा ददत् । तरन्त इव मंहना
He who gave me a hundred cows, as if giving ten times over, is like one who crosses over by his greatness.
य ईं वहन्त आशुभिः पिबन्तो मदिरं मधु । अत्र श्रवांसि दधिरे
Those who carry her swiftly, drinking the exhilarating mead, have here attained fame.
येषां श्रियाधि रोदसी विभ्राजन्ते रथेष्वा । दिवि रुक्म इवोपरि
For whom the heavens and earth shine with splendor on their chariots, like gold above in the sky.
युवा स मारुतो गणस्त्वेषरथो अनेद्यः । शुभंयावाप्रतिष्कुतः
Young is that host of the Maruts, with mighty chariots, unassailable, shining, and unopposed.
को वेद नूनमेषां यत्रा मदन्ति धूतयः । ऋतजाता अरेपसः
Who truly knows where their impelled ones rejoice, born of truth, without stain?
यूयं मर्तं विपन्यवः प्रणेतार इत्था धिया । श्रोतारो यामहूतिषु
You, wise ones, lead mortals rightly with such insight; you hear the calls in the sacrifices.
ते नो वसूनि काम्या पुरुश्चन्द्रा रिशादसः । आ यज्ञियासो ववृत्तन
May you, worthy of sacrifice, grant us desirable riches, shining before us, O destroyers of foes.
एतं मे स्तोममूर्म्ये दार्भ्याय परा वह । गिरो देवि रथीरिव
Carry this praise of mine, O goddess, like a charioteer, to Dārbhya, son of Urmya.
उत मे वोचतादिति सुतसोमे रथवीतौ । न कामो अप वेति मे
And speak to me, O Aditi, at the Soma-pressing, at the chariot-race; my desire does not depart from me.
एष क्षेति रथवीतिर्मघवा गोमतीरनु । पर्वतेष्वपश्रितः
Here dwells the charioteer, the generous one, among the rich meadows, sheltered in the mountains.
ऋतेन ऋतमपिहितं ध्रुवं वां सूर्यस्य यत्र विमुचन्त्यश्वान् । दश शता सह तस्थुस्तदेकं देवानां श्रेष्ठं वपुषामपश्यम्
By truth is the truth concealed, your firm place, where the horses of the sun are released; ten hundreds together stood there, I saw that one, the greatest in splendor among the gods.
तत्सु वां मित्रावरुणा महित्वमीर्मा तस्थुषीरहभिर्दुदुह्रे । विश्वाः पिन्वथः स्वसरस्य धेना अनु वामेकः पविरा ववर्त
That, O Mitra and Varuṇa, is your greatness; the standing ones have drawn it forth by day; you both make all the cows of your stream swell, and one axle revolves for you.
अधारयतं पृथिवीमुत द्यां मित्रराजाना वरुणा महोभिः । वर्धयतमोषधीः पिन्वतं गा अव वृष्टिं सृजतं जीरदानू
You, Mitra and Varuṇa, kings by your greatness, have supported earth and sky; you make the plants grow, you make the cows swell, you send down rain, you bestow long life.
आ वामश्वासः सुयुजो वहन्तु यतरश्मय उप यन्त्वर्वाक् । घृतस्य निर्णिगनु वर्तते वामुप सिन्धवः प्रदिवि क्षरन्ति
Let your well-yoked, swift-footed horses bring you here, drawing the chariot close; the channels of ghee are prepared for you, and the rivers flow towards you from the sky.
अनु श्रुताममतिं वर्धदुर्वीं बर्हिरिव यजुषा रक्षमाणा । नमस्वन्ता धृतदक्षाधि गर्ते मित्रासाथे वरुणेळास्वन्तः
Following the renowned, unfailing wisdom, protected like a sacrificial seat by sacred utterance, with reverence, holding firm skill, you dwell in the depth, O Mitra and Varuṇa, together with Ilā.
