सूक्त ५८

तमु नूनं तविषीमन्तमेषां स्तुषे गणं मारुतं नव्यसीनाम्। य आश्वश्वा अमवद्वहन्त उतेशिरे अमृतस्य स्वराजः॥

tamu nūnaṁ taviṣīmantameṣāṁ stuṣe gaṇaṁ mārutaṁ navyasīnām | ya āśvaśvā amavadvahanta uteśire amṛtasya svarājaḥ ||

Now do I glorify their mighty cohort, the company of these the youthful Maruts, Who ride impetuous on with rapid horses, and radiant in themselves, are Lords of Amrta.

त्वेषं गणं तवसं खादिहस्तं धुनिव्रतं मायिनं दातिवारम्। मयोभुवो ये अमिता महित्वा वन्दस्व विप्र तुविराधसो नॄन्॥

tveṣaṁ gaṇaṁ tavasaṁ khādihastaṁ dhunivrataṁ māyinaṁ dātivāram | mayobhuvo ye amitā mahitvā vandasva vipra tuvirādhaso nṝn ||

The mighty glittering band, arm-bound with bracelets, givers of bliss, unmeasured in their greatness, With magical powers, bountiful, ever-roaring,-these, liberal Heroes, venerate thou singer.

आ वो यन्तूदवाहासो अद्य वृष्टिं ये विश्वे मरुतो जुनन्ति। अयं यो अग्निर्मरुतः समिद्ध एतं जुषध्वं कवयो युवानः॥

ā vo yantūdavāhāso adya vṛṣṭiṁ ye viśve maruto junanti | ayaṁ yo agnirmarutaḥ samiddha etaṁ juṣadhvaṁ kavayo yuvānaḥ ||

This day may all your water-bringers, Maruts, they who impel the falling rain, approach us. This fire, O Maruts, hath been duly kindled; let it find favour with you, youthful Sages.

यूयं राजानमिर्यं जनाय विभ्वतष्टं जनयथा यजत्राः। युष्मदेति मुष्टिहा बाहुजूतो युष्मत्सदश्वो मरुतः सुवीरः॥

yūyaṁ rājānamiryaṁ janāya vibhvataṣṭaṁ janayathā yajatrāḥ | yuṣmadeti muṣṭihā bāhujūto yuṣmatsadaśvo marutaḥ suvīraḥ ||

Ye raise up for the folk an active ruler whom, Holy Ones! a Master's hand hath fashioned. Ye send the fighter hand to hand, armmighty, and the brave hero, Maruts with good horses.

अरा इवेदचरमा अहेव प्रप्र जायन्ते अकवा महोभिः। पृश्नेः पुत्रा उपमासो रभिष्ठाः स्वया मत्या मरुतः सं मिमिक्षुः॥

arā ivedacaramā aheva prapra jāyante akavā mahobhiḥ | pṛśneḥ putrā upamāso rabhiṣṭhāḥ svayā matyā marutaḥ saṁ mimikṣuḥ ||

They spring forth more and more, strong in their glories, like days, like spokes where none are last in order. Highest and mightiest are the Sons of Prsni. Firm to their own intention cling the Maruts.

यत्प्रायासिष्ट पृषतीभिरश्वैर्वीळुपविभिर्मरुतो रथेभिः। क्षोदन्त आपो रिणते वनान्यवोस्रियो वृषभः क्रन्दतु द्यौः॥

yatprāyāsiṣṭa pṛṣatībhiraśvairvīḻupavibhirmaruto rathebhiḥ | kṣodanta āpo riṇate vanānyavosriyo vṛṣabhaḥ krandatu dyauḥ ||

When ye have hastened on with spotted coursers, O Maruts, on your cars with strong-wrought fellies, The waters are disturbed, the woods are shattered. Let Dyaus the Red Steer send his thunder downward.

प्रथिष्ट यामन्पृथिवी चिदेषां भर्तेव गर्भं स्वमिच्छवो धुः। वातान्ह्यश्वान्धुर्यायुयुज्रे वर्षं स्वेदं चक्रिरे रुद्रियासः॥

prathiṣṭa yāmanpṛthivī cideṣāṁ bharteva garbhaṁ svamicchavo dhuḥ | vātānhyaśvāndhuryāyuyujre varṣaṁ svedaṁ cakrire rudriyāsaḥ ||

Even Earth hath spread herself wide at their coming, and they as husbands have with power impregned her. They to the pole have yoked the winds for coursers: their sweat have they made rain, these Sons of Rudra.

हये नरो मरुतो मृळता नस्तुवीमघासो अमृता ऋतज्ञाः। सत्यश्रुतः कवयो युवानो बृहद्गिरयो बृहदुक्षमाणाः॥

haye naro maruto mṛḻatā nastuvīmaghāso amṛtā ṛtajñāḥ | satyaśrutaḥ kavayo yuvāno bṛhadgirayo bṛhadukṣamāṇāḥ ||

Ho! Maruts, Heroes, skilled in Law, immortal, be gracious unto us, ye rich in treasures, Ye hearers of the truth, ye sage and youthful, grown mighty, dwelling on the lofty mountains.
