2.34.1
धा॒रा॒व॒रा म॒रुतो॑ धृ॒ष्ण्वो॑जसो मृ॒गा न भी॒मास्तवि॑षीभिर॒र्चिनः॑ ।
अ॒ग्नयो॒ न शु॑शुचा॒ना ऋ॑जी॒षिणो॒ भृमिं॒ धम॑न्तो॒ अप॒ गा अ॑वृण्वत ॥
The Maruts, who flow in streams, firm in strength, fearsome like wild beasts, shining with their power; blazing like fires, eager, blowing upon the earth, they opened up the cows.
2.34.2
द्यावो॒ न स्तृभि॑श्चितयन्त खा॒दिनो॒ व्य॑भ्रिया॒ न द्यु॑तयन्त वृ॒ष्टयः॑ ।
रु॒द्रो यद्वो॑ मरुतो रुक्मवक्षसो॒ वृषाज॑नि॒ पृश्न्याः॑ शु॒क्र ऊध॑नि ॥
Like the skies with stars, they shine forth with lightnings; the rains gleam like clouds. O Maruts with golden breasts, when your Rudra, the bull, was born pure in the udder of the spotted cow.
2.34.3
उ॒क्षन्ते॒ अश्वाँ॒ अत्याँ॑ इवा॒जिषु॑ न॒दस्य॒ कर्णै॑स्तुरयन्त आ॒शुभिः॑ ।
हिर॑ण्यशिप्रा मरुतो॒ दवि॑ध्वतः पृ॒क्षं या॑थ॒ पृष॑तीभिः समन्यवः ॥
They yoke their horses, swift as steeds in races; with the ears of the roaring one they spur them on swiftly. O Maruts with golden spears, shaking, you go along the path with spotted cows, O you of one mind.
2.34.4
पृ॒क्षे ता विश्वा॒ भुव॑ना ववक्षिरे मि॒त्राय॑ वा॒ सद॒मा जी॒रदा॑नवः ।
पृष॑दश्वासो अनव॒भ्ररा॑धस ऋजि॒प्यासो॒ न व॒युने॑षु धू॒र्षदः॑ ॥
All those worlds were made for the spotted Maruts, for Mitra, or forever; they have ancient gifts. The Maruts with spotted horses, of undiminished wealth, bringers of riches, seated on the yoke-pole in the Vayuna rites.
2.34.5
इन्ध॑न्वभिर्धे॒नुभी॑ र॒प्शदू॑धभिरध्व॒स्मभिः॑ प॒थिभि॑र्भ्राजदृष्टयः ।
आ हं॒सासो॒ न स्वस॑राणि गन्तन॒ मधो॒र्मदा॑य मरुतः समन्यवः ॥
With bright strands, with milch-cows, with paths of the wind, with paths, O you of shining faces! Come like swans to the abodes of the sisters; come, O Maruts, for the joy of honey, O you of one mind.
2.34.6
आ नो॒ ब्रह्मा॑णि मरुतः समन्यवो न॒रां न शंसः॒ सव॑नानि गन्तन ।
अश्वा॑मिव पिप्यत धे॒नुमूध॑नि॒ कर्ता॒ धियं॑ जरि॒त्रे वाज॑पेशसम् ॥
To us, O Maruts, O you of one mind, come to the prayers; like the praise of men, come to the rites. Drink like a mare, enjoy the cow at the udder; make a thought for the singer, make a hymn giving strength and food.
2.34.7
तं नो॑ दात मरुतो वा॒जिनं॒ रथ॑ आपा॒नं ब्रह्म॑ चि॒तय॑द्दि॒वेदि॑वे ।
इषं॑ स्तो॒तृभ्यो॑ वृ॒जने॑षु का॒रवे॑ स॒निं मे॒धामरि॑ष्टं दु॒ष्टरं॒ सहः॑ ॥
O Maruts, in your chariot give us that swift draught and prayer, which kindles day after day. Give nourishment to the praisers, and in the strongholds give the poet wealth, undiminished wisdom, and unconquerable strength.
2.34.8
यद्यु॒ञ्जते॑ म॒रुतो॑ रु॒क्मव॑क्ष॒सोऽश्वा॒न्रथे॑षु॒ भग॒ आ सु॒दान॑वः ।
धे॒नुर्न शिश्वे॒ स्वस॑रेषु पिन्वते॒ जना॑य रा॒तह॑विषे म॒हीमिष॑म् ॥
When the Maruts, with golden breastplates, yoke their horses to the chariots, the bountiful givers, for prosperity, swell in the streams like a cow toward her calf; they fill with great nourishment the one who offers oblations.
2.34.9
यो नो॑ मरुतो वृ॒कता॑ति॒ मर्त्यो॑ रि॒पुर्द॒धे व॑सवो॒ रक्ष॑ता रि॒षः ।
व॒र्तय॑त॒ तपु॑षा च॒क्रिया॒भि तमव॑ रुद्रा अ॒शसो॑ हन्तना॒ वधः॑ ॥
O Maruts, whatever mortal enemy sets a snare for us on the wolf's path, O Vasus, protect us and turn him back from harm. Turn him back with your burning power; O Rudras, strike him with unwearied hands.
2.34.10
चि॒त्रं तद्वो॑ मरुतो॒ याम॑ चेकिते॒ पृश्न्या॒ यदूध॒रप्या॒पयो॑ दु॒हुः ।
यद्वा॑ नि॒दे नव॑मानस्य रुद्रियास्त्रि॒तं जरा॑य जुर॒ताम॑दाभ्याः ॥
O Maruts, your course appears wonderful, when even from the udder of the spotted cow the drops of water are milked. Or, O sons of Rudra, when you are with him who does not bow in the lowly place, may the unassailable ones wear out Trita for old age.
2.34.11
तान्वो॑ म॒हो म॒रुत॑ एव॒याव्नो॒ विष्णो॑रे॒षस्य॑ प्रभृ॒थे ह॑वामहे ।
हिर॑ण्यवर्णान्ककु॒हान्य॒तस्रु॑चो ब्रह्म॒ण्यन्तः॒ शंस्यं॒ राध॑ ईमहे ॥
Great Maruts, who come of your own will, we call you to this first offering of Viṣṇu. Golden-hued, radiant, with ladles raised, possessing sacred formula, we seek praiseworthy wealth.
2.34.12
ते दश॑ग्वाः प्रथ॒मा य॒ज्ञमू॑हिरे॒ ते नो॑ हिन्वन्तू॒षसो॒ व्यु॑ष्टिषु ।
उ॒षा न रा॒मीर॑रु॒णैरपो॑र्णुते म॒हो ज्योति॑षा शुच॒ता गोअ॑र्णसा ॥
Those with ten cows first brought the sacrifice; may they urge us at the spreading of the light of dawn. As Dawn reveals herself with lovely reddish rays, so the great and bright ones reveal themselves with the light of the cows.
2.34.13
ते क्षो॒णीभि॑ररु॒णेभि॒र्नाञ्जिभिः॑ रु॒द्रा ऋ॒तस्य॒ सद॑नेषु वावृधुः ।
नि॒मेघ॑माना॒ अत्ये॑न॒ पाज॑सा सुश्च॒न्द्रं वर्णं॑ दधिरे सु॒पेश॑सम् ॥
They, the Rudras, with the earths and with ruddy anointers, have grown strong in the abodes of Ṛta. Sprinkling with swift might, they have taken on a very bright and beautiful colour.
2.34.14
ताँ इ॑या॒नो महि॒ वरू॑थमू॒तय॒ उप॒ घेदे॒ना नम॑सा गृणीमसि ।
त्रि॒तो न यान्पञ्च॒ होतॄ॑न॒भिष्ट॑य आव॒वर्त॒दव॑राञ्च॒क्रियाव॑से ॥
Them, coming for great protection, we indeed praise with homage. As Tritа brought down the five priests from the wheel for the aim of his wish, so may they turn down toward us for protection.
2.34.15
यया॑ र॒ध्रं पा॒रय॒थात्यंहो॒ यया॑ नि॒दो मु॒ञ्चथ॑ वन्दि॒तार॑म् ।
अ॒र्वाची॒ सा म॑रुतो॒ या व॑ ऊ॒तिरो षु वा॒श्रेव॑ सुम॒तिर्जि॑गातु ॥
By which protection you carry across the chasm and beyond sin, by which you free the singer from reproach — O Maruts, may that protection of yours come hither to us; and may good intent come well, like a wish.
