Library·Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka)·4·4.27
मरुतां मन्वे अधि मे ब्रुवन्तु प्रेमं वाजं वाजसाते अवन्तु । आशून् इव सुयमान् अह्व ऊतये ते नो मुञ्चन्त्व् अंहसः ॥१॥
marutāṃ manve adhi me bruvantu premaṃ vājaṃ vājasāte avantu | āśūn iva suyamān ahva ūtaye te no muñcantv aṃhasaḥ ||1||
The Maruts I reverence; let them bless me; let them favor this steed (? vā́ja) in the race (? vā́jasāta); I have called on them for aid, like easily-controlled swift [horses]: let them free us from distress.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
उत्सम् अक्षितं व्यचन्ति ये सदा य आसिञ्चन्ति रसम् ओषधीषु । पुरो दधे मरुतः पृश्निमातॄंस् ते नो मुञ्चन्त्व् अंहसः ॥२॥
utsam akṣitaṃ vyacanti ye sadā ya āsiñcanti rasam oṣadhīṣu | puro dadhe marutaḥ pṛśnimātṝṃs te no muñcantv aṃhasaḥ ||2||
Who always open (vi-ac) an unexhausted fountain; who pour in sap into the herbs—I put forward the Maruts, sons of the spotted one: let them free us from distress.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
पयो धेनूनां रसम् ओषधीनां जवम् अर्वतां कवयो य इन्वथ । शग्मा भवन्तु मरुतो नः स्योनास् ते नो मुञ्चन्त्व् अंहसः ॥३॥
payo dhenūnāṃ rasam oṣadhīnāṃ javam arvatāṃ kavayo ya invatha | śagmā bhavantu maruto naḥ syonās te no muñcantv aṃhasaḥ ||3||
Ye, O poets, that send the milk of the kine, the sap of the herbs, the speed of the coursers—let the helpful (? çagmá) Maruts be pleasant to us; let them free us from distress.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
अपः समुद्राद् दिवम् उद् वहन्ति दिवस् पृथिवीम् अभि ये सृजन्ति । ये अद्भिर् ईशाना मरुतश् चरन्ति ते नो मुञ्चन्त्व् अंहसः ॥४॥
apaḥ samudrād divam ud vahanti divas pṛthivīm abhi ye sṛjanti | ye adbhir īśānā marutaś caranti te no muñcantv aṃhasaḥ ||4||
Waters from the ocean to the sky they carry up, they who pour [them] from the sky upon the earth—the Maruts who go about lording it with the waters: let them free us from distress.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
ये कीलालेन तर्पयन्ति ये घृतेन ये वा वयो मेदसा संसृजन्ति । ये अद्भिर् ईशाना मरुतो वर्षयन्ति ते नो मुञ्चन्त्व् अंहसः ॥५॥

They who gratify with sweet drink, who with ghee; or who combine (sam-sṛj) vigor (váyas) with fatness; the Maruts who, lording it with the waters, cause to rain: let them free us from distress.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
यदीद् इदं मरुतो मारुतेन यदि देवा दैव्येनेदृग् आर । यूयम् ईशिध्वे वसवस् तस्य निष्कृतेस् ते नो मुञ्चन्त्व् अंहसः ॥६॥
yadīd idaṃ maruto mārutena yadi devā daivyenedṛg āra | yūyam īśidhve vasavas tasya niṣkṛtes te no muñcantv aṃhasaḥ ||6||
If now indeed, O Maruts, by what relates to the Maruts—if, O gods, by what relates to the gods, I have fallen into such a plight: ye, O Vasus, are masters (īç) of the removal of that: let them free us from distress.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
तिग्मम् अनीकम् विदितं सहस्वन् मारुतं शर्धः पृतनासूग्रम् । स्तौमि मरुतो नाथितो जोहवीमि ते नो मुञ्चन्त्व् अंहसः ॥७॥
tigmam anīkam viditaṃ sahasvan mārutaṃ śardhaḥ pṛtanāsūgram | staumi maruto nāthito johavīmi te no muñcantv aṃhasaḥ ||7||
A sharp front, known [as] powerful, [is] the troop (çárdhas) of Maruts, formidable in fights; I praise the Maruts, [as] a suppliant I call loudly on [them]: let them free us from distress.
