AVŚ 8.4.18

वि तिष्ठध्वम् मरुतो विक्ष्व् इछत गृभायत रक्षसः सं पिनष्टन् । वयो ये भूत्वा पतयन्ति नक्तभिर् ये वा रिपो दधिरे देवे अध्वरे ॥१८॥

vi tiṣṭhadhvam maruto vikṣv ichata gṛbhāyata rakṣasaḥ saṃ pinaṣṭan | vayo ye bhūtvā patayanti naktabhir ye vā ripo dadhire deve adhvare ||18||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

Scatter yourselves, O Maruts, among the people (vikṣú); seek, seize, crush (sam-piṣ) the demoniacs, who, becoming birds, fly in the nights, or who have put defilements (rípas) on the heavenly sacrifice.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
