आ ते पितर् मरुतां सुम्नम् एतु मा नः सूर्यस्य संदृशो युयोथाः । अभि नो वीरो अर्वति क्षमेत प्र जायेमहि रुद्र प्रजाभिः ॥

Father of Maruts, let thy bliss approach us: exclude us not from looking on the sunlight. Gracious to our fleet courser be the Hero may we transplant us, Rudra, in our children.

With the most saving medicines which thou givest, Rudra, may I attain a hundred winters. Far from us banish enmity and hatred, and to all quarters maladies and trouble.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
श्रेष्ठो जातस्य रुद्र श्रियासि तवस्तमस् तवसां वज्रबाहो । पर्षि णः पारम् अंहसः स्वस्ति विश्वा अभीती रपसो युयोधि ॥

Let us not anger thee with worship, Rudra, ill praise, Strong God! or mingled invocation. Do thou with strengthening balms incite our heroes: I hear thee famed as best of all physicians.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
हवीमभिर् हवते यो हविर्भिर् अव स्तोमेभी रुद्रं दिषीय । ऋदूदरः सुहवो मा नो अस्यै बभ्रुः सुशिप्रो रीरधन् मनायै ॥

May I with praise-songs win that Rudra's favour who is adored with gifts and invocations. Ne'er may the tawny God, fair-checked, and gracious, swift hearing, yield us to this evil purpose.

The Strong, begirt by Maruts, hath refreshed me, with most invigorating food, imploring. As he who finds a shade in fervent sunlight may I, uninjured, win the bliss of Rudra.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
क्व स्य ते रुद्र मृळयाकुर् हस्तो यो अस्ति भेषजो जलाषः । अपभर्ता रपसो दैव्यस्याभी नु मा वृषभ चक्षमीथाः ॥
