Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·5·5.52
प्र श्यावाश्व धृष्णुयार्चा मरुद्भिर् ऋक्वभिः । ये अद्रोघम् अनुष्वधं श्रवो मदन्ति यज्ञियाः ॥
pra śyāvāśva dhṛṣṇuyārcā marudbhir ṛkvabhiḥ | ye adrogham anuṣvadhaṃ śravo madanti yajñiyāḥ ||
Sing boldly forth, Syavasva, with the Maruts who are loud in song, Who, holy, as their wont is, joy in glory that is free from guile.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
ते हि स्थिरस्य शवसः सखायः सन्ति धृष्णुया । ते यामन्न् आ धृषद्विनस् त्मना पान्ति शश्वतः ॥
te hi sthirasya śavasaḥ sakhāyaḥ santi dhṛṣṇuyā | te yāmann ā dhṛṣadvinas tmanā pānti śaśvataḥ ||
For in their boldness they are friends of firm and sure heroic strength. They in their course, bold-spirited, guard all men of their own accord.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
ते स्यन्द्रासो नोक्षणो ऽति ष्कन्दन्ति शर्वरीः । मरुताम् अधा महो दिवि क्षमा च मन्महे ॥
te syandrāso nokṣaṇo 'ti ṣkandanti śarvarīḥ | marutām adhā maho divi kṣamā ca manmahe ||
Like steers in rapid motion they advance and overtake the nights; And thus the Maruts' power in heaven and on the earth we celebrate.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
मरुत्सु वो दधीमहि स्तोमं यज्ञं च धृष्णुया । विश्वे ये मानुषा युगा पान्ति मर्त्यं रिषः ॥
marutsu vo dadhīmahi stomaṃ yajñaṃ ca dhṛṣṇuyā | viśve ye mānuṣā yugā pānti martyaṃ riṣaḥ ||
With boldness to your Maruts let us offer laud and sacrifice: Who all, through ages of mankind, guard mortal man from injury.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अर्हन्तो ये सुदानवो नरो असामिशवसः । प्र यज्ञं यज्ञियेभ्यो दिवो अर्चा मरुद्भ्यः ॥
arhanto ye sudānavo naro asāmiśavasaḥ | pra yajñaṃ yajñiyebhyo divo arcā marudbhyaḥ ||
Praiseworthy, givers of good gifts, Heroes with full and perfect strength - To Maruts, Holy Ones of heaven, will I extol the sacrifice.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
आ रुक्मैर् आ युधा नर ऋष्वा ऋष्टीर् असृक्षत । अन्व् एनां अह विद्युतो मरुतो जज्झतीर् इव भानुर् अर्त त्मना दिवः ॥
ā rukmair ā yudhā nara ṛṣvā ṛṣṭīr asṛkṣata | anv enāṃ aha vidyuto maruto jajjhatīr iva bhānur arta tmanā divaḥ ||
The lofty Heroes cast their spears and weapons bright with gleaming gold. After these Maruts followed close, like laughing lightning from the sky, a splendour of its own accord.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
ये वावृधन्त पार्थिवा य उराव् अन्तरिक्ष आ । वृजने वा नदीनां सधस्थे वा महो दिवः ॥
ye vāvṛdhanta pārthivā ya urāv antarikṣa ā | vṛjane vā nadīnāṃ sadhasthe vā maho divaḥ ||
They who waxed mighty, of the earth, they who are in the wide mid-air, Or in the rivers' compass, or in the abode of ample heaven.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
शर्धो मारुतम् उच् छंस सत्यशवसम् ऋभ्वसम् । उत स्म ते शुभे नरः प्र स्यन्द्रा युजत त्मना ॥
śardho mārutam uc chaṃsa satyaśavasam ṛbhvasam | uta sma te śubhe naraḥ pra syandrā yujata tmanā ||
Praise thou the Maruts' company, the valorous and truly strong, The Heroes, hasting, by themselves have yoked their deer for victory.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
उत स्म ते परुष्ण्याम् ऊर्णा वसत शुन्ध्यवः । उत पव्या रथानाम् अद्रिम् भिन्दन्त्य् ओजसा ॥
uta sma te paruṣṇyām ūrṇā vasata śundhyavaḥ | uta pavyā rathānām adrim bhindanty ojasā ||
Fair-gleaming, on Parusni they have clothed themselves in robes of wool, And with their chariot tires they cleave the rock asunder in their might.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
आपथयो विपथयो ऽन्तस्पथा अनुपथाः । एतेभिर् मह्यं नामभिर् यज्ञं विष्टार ओहते ॥
āpathayo vipathayo 'ntaspathā anupathāḥ | etebhir mahyaṃ nāmabhir yajñaṃ viṣṭāra ohate ||
Whether as wanderers from the way or speeders on or to the path, Under these names the spreading band tend well the sacrifice for me.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अधा नरो न्य् ओहते ऽधा नियुत ओहते । अधा पारावता इति चित्रा रूपाणि दर्श्या ॥
adhā naro ny ohate 'dhā niyuta ohate | adhā pārāvatā iti citrā rūpāṇi darśyā ||
To this the Heroes well attend, well do their teams attend to this. Visible are their varied forms. Behold, they are Paravatas.

छन्दस्तुभः कुभन्यव उत्सम् आ कीरिणो नृतुः । ते मे के चिन् न तायव ऊमा आसन् दृशि त्विषे ॥
chandastubhaḥ kubhanyava utsam ā kīriṇo nṛtuḥ | te me ke cin na tāyava ūmā āsan dṛśi tviṣe ||
Hymn-singing, seeking water, they, praising, have danced about the spring. What are they unto me? No thieves, but helpers, splendid to behold.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
य ऋष्वा ऋष्टिविद्युतः कवयः सन्ति वेधसः । तम् ऋषे मारुतं गणं नमस्या रमया गिरा ॥
ya ṛṣvā ṛṣṭividyutaḥ kavayaḥ santi vedhasaḥ | tam ṛṣe mārutaṃ gaṇaṃ namasyā ramayā girā ||
Sublime, with lightnings for their spears, Sages and Orderers are they. Rsi, adore that Marut host, and make them happy with thy song.

Princes, who, when I asked their kin, named Prsni as their Mother-cow, And the impetuous Rudra they, the Mighty Ones, declared their Sire.
