इमां मे मरुतो गिरमिमं स्तोममृभुक्षणः । इमं मे वनता हवम्
O Maruts, accept this song of mine, this praise, O enjoyers of offerings; accept this invocation of mine.
त्रीणि सरांसि पृश्नयो दुदुह्रे वज्रिणे मधु । उत्सं कवन्धमुद्रिणम्
The Prishnis have milked three streams of sweetness for the wielder of the bolt: the well, the hollow, the flowing spring.
मरुतो यद्ध वो दिवः सुम्नायन्तो हवामहे । आ तू न उप गन्तन
Maruts, when we invoke you from heaven, bringing favor, come to us here.
यूयं हि ष्ठा सुदानवो रुद्रा ऋभुक्षणो दमे । उत प्रचेतसो मदे
For you are truly generous, O Rudras, enjoyers of offerings in the home, and wise in the exhilaration.
आ नो रयिं मदच्युतं पुरुक्षुं विश्वधायसम् । इयर्ता मरुतो दिवः
May you, Maruts, send us wealth from heaven, abundant, all-sustaining, flowing with delight.
अधीव यद्गिरीणां यामं शुभ्रा अचिध्वम् । सुवानैर्मन्दध्व इन्दुभिः
When you, bright ones, hasten along the course of the mountains, rejoice with the pressed Soma juices.
एतावतश्चिदेषां सुम्नं भिक्षेत मर्त्यः । अदाभ्यस्य मन्मभिः
Even for this alone, a mortal may seek their favor, with the unassailable hymns.
ये द्रप्सा इव रोदसी धमन्त्यनु वृष्टिभिः । उत्सं दुहन्तो अक्षितम्
They, like shining drops, fill the two worlds with rain, ever drawing forth the inexhaustible spring.
उदु स्वानेभिरीरत उद्रथैरुदु वायुभिः । उत्स्तोमैः पृश्निमातरः
They rise up with their sounds, with their chariots, with the winds, and with songs, the daughters of Prishni.
येनाव तुर्वशं यदुं येन कण्वं धनस्पृतम् । राये सु तस्य धीमहि
By this you protected Turvasha and Yadu, by this Kanva, the seeker of wealth; may we obtain the wealth of that one.
इमा उ वः सुदानवो घृतं न पिप्युषीरिषः । वर्धान्काण्वस्य मन्मभिः
These, O generous ones, are your nourishing gifts, like ghee, increasing with the hymns of Kanva.
क्व नूनं सुदानवो मदथा वृक्तबर्हिषः । ब्रह्मा को वः सपर्यति
Where now, O generous ones, do you rejoice, you who delight in the strewn grass? Who among the priests worships you?
नहि ष्म यद्ध वः पुरा स्तोमेभिर्वृक्तबर्हिषः । शर्धाँ ऋतस्य जिन्वथ
For never before have you, with hymns and strewn grass, roused the hosts of truth.
समु त्ये महतीरपः सं क्षोणी समु सूर्यम् । सं वज्रं पर्वशो दधुः
Together the great waters, together the earths, together the sun, together the joints have placed the thunderbolt.
वि वृत्रं पर्वशो ययुर्वि पर्वताँ अराजिनः । चक्राणा वृष्णि पौंस्यम्
The joints have gone forth against Vṛtra, the unyielding mountains have gone forth, performing the heroic deed of the mighty one.
अनु त्रितस्य युध्यतः शुष्ममावन्नुत क्रतुम् । अन्विन्द्रं वृत्रतूर्ये
Following Trita as he fought, they gained his strength and wisdom, following Indra in the slaying of Vṛtra.
विद्युद्धस्ता अभिद्यवः शिप्राः शीर्षन्हिरण्ययीः । शुभ्रा व्यञ्जत श्रिये
The flashing, golden-crested, swift ones, with lightning in their hands, revealed their shining forms for glory.
उशना यत्परावत उक्ष्णो रन्ध्रमयातन । द्यौर्न चक्रदद्भिया
When Ushanas, at a distance, sought the opening of the bull, heaven did not tremble in fear.
आ नो मखस्य दावनेऽश्वैर्हिरण्यपाणिभिः । देवास उप गन्तन
Come to us for the distribution of the feast, O gods, with horses whose hands are golden.
यदेषां पृषती रथे प्रष्टिर्वहति रोहितः । यान्ति शुभ्रा रिणन्नपः
When the spotted ones in the chariot are drawn by the red leader, the shining ones go, cleaving the waters.
सुषोमे शर्यणावत्यार्जीके पस्त्यावति । ययुर्निचक्रया नरः
At Śaryaṇāvat, at Ārjīka, at Pastyāvat, the men went forth with their assembled hosts.
कदा गच्छाथ मरुत इत्था विप्रं हवमानम् । मार्डीकेभिर्नाधमानम्
When will you, O Maruts, come thus to the sage who calls, not abandoning him, with gracious shouts?
कद्ध नूनं कधप्रियो यदिन्द्रमजहातन । को वः सखित्व ओहते
When now, when beloved ones, have you abandoned Indra? Who among you desires friendship?
सहो षु णो वज्रहस्तैः कण्वासो अग्निं मरुद्भिः । स्तुषे हिरण्यवाशीभिः
With your strength, O Maruts with the thunderbolt in hand, the Kaṇvas praise Agni with golden mantles.
ओ षु वृष्णः प्रयज्यूना नव्यसे सुविताय । ववृत्यां चित्रवाजान्
May the mighty ones, ready for the sacrifice, grant us splendid wealth, ever increasing, with brilliant steeds.
गिरयश्चिन्नि जिहते पर्शानासो मन्यमानाः । पर्वताश्चिन्नि येमिरे
Even the mountains are split apart, the proud ones are subdued; even the mountains are restrained.
आक्ष्णयावानो वहन्त्यन्तरिक्षेण पततः । धातार स्तुवते वयः
Those who travel with swift wings, flying through the mid-air, praise the supporter.
अग्निर्हि जानि पूर्व्यश्छन्दो न सूरो अर्चिषा । ते भानुभिर्वि तस्थिरे
For Agni is born as the ancient one, like the sun with his flame; by their rays they have spread out.
आ नो विश्वाभिरूतिभिरश्विना गच्छतं युवम् । दस्रा हिरण्यवर्तनी पिबतं सोम्यं मधु
Come to us, Ashvins, with all your aids; O wondrous ones with golden wheels, drink the Soma mead.
आ नूनं यातमश्विना रथेन सूर्यत्वचा । भुजी हिरण्यपेशसा कवी गम्भीरचेतसा
Now come, Ashvins, with your chariot shining like the sun, with your strong, golden-adorned arms, O wise ones of deep thought.
