यत्पर्जन्य कनिक्रदत्स्तनयन्हंसि दुष्कृतः । प्रतीदं विश्वं मोदते यत्किं च पृथिव्यामधि
When, Parjanya, you roar and thunder, you strike down the wicked; then all rejoice, whatever is upon the earth.
अवर्षीर्वर्षमुदु षू गृभायाकर्धन्वान्यत्येतवा उ । अजीजन ओषधीर्भोजनाय कमुत प्रजाभ्योऽविदो मनीषाम्
You have made rain, you have seized the thunderbolt, you have stirred the fields and moved beyond; you have generated plants for food—what wisdom have you given to the peoples?
बळित्था पर्वतानां खिद्रं बिभर्षि पृथिवि । प्र या भूमिं प्रवत्वति मह्ना जिनोषि महिनि
You have become strong among the mountains, Earth, bearing the small and the mighty; by your greatness you conquer the vast, you are victorious in greatness.
स्तोमासस्त्वा विचारिणि प्रति ष्टोभन्त्यक्तुभिः । प्र या वाजं न हेषन्तं पेरुमस्यस्यर्जुनि
Hymns, O wanderer, resound for you with praises; as horses neigh for the prize, so they strive for your favor, O splendid one.
दृळ्हा चिद्या वनस्पतीन्क्ष्मया दर्धर्ष्योजसा । यत्ते अभ्रस्य विद्युतो दिवो वर्षन्ति वृष्टयः
Even the firm trees you shatter with your power upon the earth; when your lightning from the cloud rains down showers from the sky.
प्र सम्राजे बृहदर्चा गभीरं ब्रह्म प्रियं वरुणाय श्रुताय । वि यो जघान शमितेव चर्मोपस्तिरे पृथिवीं सूर्याय
Let the great hymn go forth to the sovereign, deep and dear, to Varuṇa, renowned; he who, like a tanner, has stretched the earth for the sun.
वनेषु व्यन्तरिक्षं ततान वाजमर्वत्सु पय उस्रियासु । हृत्सु क्रतुं वरुणो अप्स्वग्निं दिवि सूर्यमदधात्सोममद्रौ
In the forests he spread the midspace, gave strength to the swift, milk to the cows; in hearts Varuṇa placed wisdom, in waters Agni, in heaven the sun, in Soma the thunder.
नीचीनबारं वरुणः कवन्धं प्र ससर्ज रोदसी अन्तरिक्षम् । तेन विश्वस्य भुवनस्य राजा यवं न वृष्टिर्व्युनत्ति भूम
Varuṇa sent forth the low-hanging cloud, the cavern, between earth and sky; with it, as king of all the world, he distributes rain like grain upon the earth.
उनत्ति भूमिं पृथिवीमुत द्यां यदा दुग्धं वरुणो वष्ट्यादित् । समभ्रेण वसत पर्वतासस्तविषीयन्तः श्रथयन्त वीराः
He raises up the earth and the wide ground and the sky, when Varuṇa commands the milk to flow; together with the cloud, the mountains dwell, mighty, breaking forth, heroic.
इमामू ष्वासुरस्य श्रुतस्य महीं मायां वरुणस्य प्र वोचम् । मानेनेव तस्थिवाँ अन्तरिक्षे वि यो ममे पृथिवीं सूर्येण
Now I declare this great magic of the renowned Asura Varuṇa; standing as if by measure in the midspace, he has encompassed the earth with the sun.
इमामू नु कवितमस्य मायां महीं देवस्य नकिरा दधर्ष । एकं यदुद्ना न पृणन्त्येनीरासिञ्चन्तीरवनयः समुद्रम्
Now this great magic of the wise god, none has overcome; when the rivers, flowing together, fill one ocean, pouring their waters.
अर्यम्यं वरुण मित्र्यं वा सखायं वा सदमिद्भ्रातरं वा । वेशं वा नित्यं वरुणारणं वा यत्सीमागश्चकृमा शिश्रथस्तत्
Whether Aryaman, Varuṇa, Mitra, or a friend, or a brother, or a constant companion, or Varuṇa's refuge—whatever wrong we have done, we confess it.
कितवासो यद्रिरिपुर्न दीवि यद्वा घा सत्यमुत यन्न विद्म । सर्वा ता वि ष्य शिथिरेव देवाधा ते स्याम वरुण प्रियासः
Whether as a deceiver, or as an enemy, or in darkness, or in truth, or in ignorance—whatever it may be, all those faults, as if loosened, O gods, may we become dear to you, Varuṇa.
इन्द्राग्नी यमवथ उभा वाजेषु मर्त्यम् । दृळ्हा चित्स प्र भेदति द्युम्ना वाणीरिव त्रितः
Indra and Agni, you both assist the mortal in contests; even the firm, he breaks through by your brilliance, like Trita with his voice.
या पृतनासु दुष्टरा या वाजेषु श्रवाय्या । या पञ्च चर्षणीरभीन्द्राग्नी ता हवामहे
Those who are unconquerable in battles, those who are renowned in contests, those who protect the five peoples—Indra and Agni, we call upon them.
तयोरिदमवच्छवस्तिग्मा दिद्युन्मघोनोः । प्रति द्रुणा गभस्त्योर्गवां वृत्रघ्न एषते
Of those two, this is the glorious strength, sharp as lightning, of the generous ones; the slayer of Vṛtra approaches the cows with his hands.
ता वामेषे रथानामिन्द्राग्नी हवामहे । पती तुरस्य राधसो विद्वांसा गिर्वणस्तमा
Those, I seek, the chariots of Indra and Agni, I call upon; lords of mighty wealth, wise, most praised among singers.
ता वृधन्तावनु द्यून्मर्ताय देवावदभा । अर्हन्ता चित्पुरो दधेऽंशेव देवावर्वते
Those two, growing strong, protect the days for the mortal, as gods; even worthy, they place the fortresses, like a portion for the godly.
एवेन्द्राग्निभ्यामहावि हव्यं शूष्यं घृतं न पूतमद्रिभिः । ता सूरिषु श्रवो बृहद्रयिं गृणत्सु दिधृतमिषं गृणत्सु दिधृतम्
Thus to Indra and Agni, we offer the great oblation, pure as clarified butter, pressed by stones; to them, among the noble, may fame, great wealth, and sustenance be granted to those who praise.
प्र वो महे मतयो यन्तु विष्णवे मरुत्वते गिरिजा एवयामरुत् । प्र शर्धाय प्रयज्यवे सुखादये तवसे भन्ददिष्टये धुनिव्रताय शवसे
Let your thoughts go forth to the great Viṣṇu, to the Maruts, born of the mountain, ever-moving Maruts; to the host, to the one worthy of sacrifice, to the giver of happiness, to the powerful, to the bestower of blessings, to the swift, to the mighty.
प्र ये जाता महिना ये च नु स्वयं प्र विद्मना ब्रुवत एवयामरुत् । क्रत्वा तद्वो मरुतो नाधृषे शवो दाना मह्ना तदेषामधृष्टासो नाद्रयः
Those who were born in greatness, and those who are now by their own power—those who speak with understanding in this way, O Maruts—by your will, Maruts, your force cannot be resisted; your gifts are mighty, and by their greatness, your undaunted ones are not to be overcome.
प्र ये दिवो बृहतः शृण्विरे गिरा सुशुक्वानः सुभ्व एवयामरुत् । न येषामिरी सधस्थ ईष्ट आँ अग्नयो न स्वविद्युतः प्र स्यन्द्रासो धुनीनाम्
Those who are heard from the great heaven by their voice, shining brightly, beautiful in this way, O Maruts—none among them has desired a seat in the assembly, like fires with their own lightning, the streams of the roaring ones rush forth.
स चक्रमे महतो निरुरुक्रमः समानस्मात्सदस एवयामरुत् । यदायुक्त त्मना स्वादधि ष्णुभिर्विष्पर्धसो विमहसो जिगाति शेवृधो नृभिः
He strode forth, a vast and far-reaching step, from the common seat, in this way, O Maruts; when he yoked himself by his own nature with the swift ones, surpassing rivals, mighty, he wins with heroes who bring prosperity.
स्वनो न वोऽमवान्रेजयद्वृषा त्वेषो ययिस्तविष एवयामरुत् । येना सहन्त ऋञ्जत स्वरोचिष स्थारश्मानो हिरण्ययाः स्वायुधास इष्मिणः
Your thunderous roar, strong and stirring, shakes, powerful and victorious, in this way, O Maruts; with it you conquer, you shine with radiance, steadfast as rocks, golden-armed, your weapons sharp.
अपारो वो महिमा वृद्धशवसस्त्वेषं शवोऽवत्वेवयामरुत् । स्थातारो हि प्रसितौ संदृशि स्थन ते न उरुष्यता निदः शुशुक्वांसो नाग्नयः
Your greatness is boundless, you of growing might, your force is fierce—may it protect us, in this way, O Maruts; for you stand firm in the advance, you are visible in the assembly, your dwellings are not narrow, shining like fires.
ते रुद्रासः सुमखा अग्नयो यथा तुविद्युम्ना अवन्त्वेवयामरुत् । दीर्घं पृथु पप्रथे सद्म पार्थिवं येषामज्मेष्वा महः शर्धांस्यद्भुतैनसाम्
You Rudras, well-armed, like fires, of abundant strength, may you protect us in this way, O Maruts; you have spread wide and far your earthly dwelling, among whom, in the horses, are the mighty hosts of wondrous deeds.
अद्वेषो नो मरुतो गातुमेतन श्रोता हवं जरितुरेवयामरुत् । विष्णोर्महः समन्यवो युयोतन स्मद्रथ्यो न दंसनाप द्वेषांसि सनुतः
Without enmity, O Maruts, come to our path; hear the call of the worshipper in this way, O Maruts; united with the greatness of Vishnu, grant us protection, like charioteers, remove all hatreds from us.
गन्ता नो यज्ञं यज्ञियाः सुशमि श्रोता हवमरक्ष एवयामरुत् । ज्येष्ठासो न पर्वतासो व्योमनि यूयं तस्य प्रचेतसः स्यात दुर्धर्तवो निदः
Come to our sacrifice, worthy of sacrifice, O Maruts, bring delight; hear the call, O guardians, in this way, O Maruts; like the greatest mountains in the sky, may you, with insight, be for him who knows, unassailable protectors.
त्वं ह्यग्ने प्रथमो मनोतास्या धियो अभवो दस्म होता । त्वं सीं वृषन्नकृणोर्दुष्टरीतु सहो विश्वस्मै सहसे सहध्यै
You, Agni, are indeed the first to be invoked by thought; you became the wise Hotar of the offering; you, O mighty one, have made for us, the difficult-to-pass strength, so that we may join all strength together.
अधा होता न्यसीदो यजीयानिळस्पद इषयन्नीड्यः सन् । तं त्वा नरः प्रथमं देवयन्तो महो राये चितयन्तो अनु ग्मन्
Then, as Hotar, you sat down at the sacrifice, desiring the seat, worthy of praise; you, whom men, the first to worship the gods, seeking great wealth, have followed.
