Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 5.60

ईळे अग्निं स्ववसं नमोभिर् इह प्रसत्तो वि चयत् कृतं नः । रथैर् इव प्र भरे वाजयद्भिः प्रदक्षिणिन् मरुतां स्तोमम् ऋध्याम् ॥

īḷe agniṃ svavasaṃ namobhir iha prasatto vi cayat kṛtaṃ naḥ | rathair iva pra bhare vājayadbhiḥ pradakṣiṇin marutāṃ stomam ṛdhyām ||

I LAUD with reverence the gracious Agni: here may he sit and part our meed among us. As with spoil-seeking cars I bring oblation: turned rightward I will swell the Marut's, praise-song.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

आ ये तस्थुः पृषतीषु श्रुतासु सुखेषु रुद्रा मरुतो रथेषु । वना चिद् उग्रा जिहते नि वो भिया पृथिवी चिद् रेजते पर्वतश् चित् ॥

ā ye tasthuḥ pṛṣatīṣu śrutāsu sukheṣu rudrā maruto ratheṣu | vanā cid ugrā jihate ni vo bhiyā pṛthivī cid rejate parvataś cit ||

The Maruts, yea, the Rudras, who have mounted their famous spotted deer and cars swift-moving,- Before you, fierce Ones! woods bow down in terror: Earth, even the mountain, trembles at your coming.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

पर्वतश् चिन् महि वृद्धो बिभाय दिवश् चित् सानु रेजत स्वने वः । यत् क्रीळथ मरुत ऋष्टिमन्त आप इव सध्र्यञ्चो धवध्वे ॥

parvataś cin mahi vṛddho bibhāya divaś cit sānu rejata svane vaḥ | yat krīḷatha maruta ṛṣṭimanta āpa iva sadhryañco dhavadhve ||

Though vast and tall, the mountain is affrighted, the height of heaven is shaken at your roaring When, armed with lances, ye are sporting, Maruts, and rush along together like the waters.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

वरा इवेद् रैवतासो हिरण्यैर् अभि स्वधाभिस् तन्वः पिपिश्रे । श्रिये श्रेयांसस् तवसो रथेषु सत्रा महांसि चक्रिरे तनूषु ॥

varā ived raivatāso hiraṇyair abhi svadhābhis tanvaḥ pipiśre | śriye śreyāṃsas tavaso ratheṣu satrā mahāṃsi cakrire tanūṣu ||

They, like young suitors, sons of wealthy houses, have with their golden natures decked their bodies. Strong on their cars, the lordly Ones, for glory, have set their splendours on their forms for ever.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

अज्येष्ठासो अकनिष्ठास एते सम् भ्रातरो वावृधुः सौभगाय । युवा पिता स्वपा रुद्र एषां सुदुघा पृश्निः सुदिना मरुद्भ्यः ॥

ajyeṣṭhāso akaniṣṭhāsa ete sam bhrātaro vāvṛdhuḥ saubhagāya | yuvā pitā svapā rudra eṣāṃ sudughā pṛśniḥ sudinā marudbhyaḥ ||

None being eldest, none among them youngest, as brothers they have grown to happy fortune. May their Sire Rudra, young and deft, and Prsni pouring much milk, bring fair days to the Maruts.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

यद् उत्तमे मरुतो मध्यमे वा यद् वावमे सुभगासो दिवि ष्ठ । अतो नो रुद्रा उत वा न्व् अस्याग्ने वित्ताद् धविषो यद् यजाम ॥

yad uttame maruto madhyame vā yad vāvame subhagāso divi ṣṭha | ato no rudrā uta vā nv asyāgne vittād dhaviṣo yad yajāma ||

Whether, O blessed Maruts, ye be dwelling in highest, midmost, or in lowest heaven, Thence, O ye Rudras, and thou also, Agni, notice the sacrificial food we offer.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

अग्निश् च यन् मरुतो विश्ववेदसो दिवो वहध्व उत्तराद् अधि ष्णुभिः । ते मन्दसाना धुनयो रिशादसो वामं धत्त यजमानाय सुन्वते ॥

agniś ca yan maruto viśvavedaso divo vahadhva uttarād adhi ṣṇubhiḥ | te mandasānā dhunayo riśādaso vāmaṃ dhatta yajamānāya sunvate ||

O Maruts, Lords of all, when Agni and when ye drive downward from sublimest heaven along the heights, Shakers of all, rejoicing, slayers of the foe, give riches to the Soma-pressing worshipper.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

अग्ने मरुद्भिः शुभयद्भिर् ऋक्वभिः सोमम् पिब मन्दसानो गणश्रिभिः । पावकेभिर् विश्वमिन्वेभिर् आयुभिर् वैश्वानर प्रदिवा केतुना सजूः ॥

agne marudbhiḥ śubhayadbhir ṛkvabhiḥ somam piba mandasāno gaṇaśribhiḥ | pāvakebhir viśvaminvebhir āyubhir vaiśvānara pradivā ketunā sajūḥ ||

O Agni, with the Maruts as they gleam and sing, gathered in troop, rejoicing drink the Soma juice; With these the living ones who cleanse and further all, joined with thy banner, O Vaisvanara, from of old.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
