3.1.2

yūyám ugrā́ maruta īdŕ̥śe sthābhí préta mr̥ṇáta sáhadhvam |
ámīmr̥ṇan vásavo nāthitā́ imé agnír hy èṣāṃ dūtáḥ pratyétu vidvā́n ||2||

Ye, O Maruts, are formidable for such a plight; go forward upon [them], kill, overcome! The Vasus have killed [them]; suppliant [are] these; for let Agni, their messenger, go against [their foes], knowing.
