10.77.1
a̱bhra̱pruṣo̱ na vā̱cā pru̍ṣā̱ vasu̍ ha̱viṣma̍nto̱ na ya̱jñā vi̍jā̱nuṣa̍ḥ |
su̱māru̍ta̱ṁ na bra̱hmāṇa̍m a̱rhase̍ ga̱ṇam a̍stoṣy eṣā̱ṁ na śo̱bhase̍ ||
As with their voice from cloud they sprinkle treasure so are the wise man's liberal sacrifices. I praise their Company that merits worship as the good Martits' priest to pay them honour.
10.77.2
śri̱ye maryā̍so a̱ñjīm̐r a̍kṛṇvata su̱māru̍ta̱ṁ na pū̱rvīr ati̱ kṣapa̍ḥ |
di̱vas pu̱trāsa̱ etā̱ na ye̍tira ādi̱tyāsa̱s te a̱krā na vā̍vṛdhuḥ ||
The youths have wrought their ornaments for glory through many nights,– this noble band of Maruts. Like stags the Sons of Dyatis have striven onward, the Sons of Aditi grown strong like pillars.
10.77.3
pra ye di̱vaḥ pṛ̍thi̱vyā na ba̱rhaṇā̱ tmanā̍ riri̱cre a̱bhrān na sūrya̍ḥ |
pāja̍svanto̱ na vī̱rāḥ pa̍na̱syavo̍ ri̱śāda̍so̱ na maryā̍ a̱bhidya̍vaḥ ||
They who extend beyond the earth and heaven, by their own mass, as from the cloud spreads Sûrya; Like mighty Heroes covetous of glory, like heavenly gallants who destroy the wicked.
10.77.4
yu̱ṣmāka̍m bu̱dhne a̱pāṁ na yāma̍ni vithu̱ryati̱ na ma̱hī śra̍tha̱ryati̍ |
vi̱śvapsu̍r ya̱jño a̱rvāg a̱yaṁ su va̱ḥ praya̍svanto̱ na sa̱trāca̱ ā ga̍ta ||
When ye come nigh, as in the depth of waters, the earth is loosened, as it were, and shaken. This your all-feedin sacrifice approaches: come all united, fraught, as 'twere with viands.
10.77.5
yū̱yaṁ dhū̱rṣu pra̱yujo̱ na ra̱śmibhi̱r jyoti̍ṣmanto̱ na bhā̱sā vyu̍ṣṭiṣu |
śye̱nāso̱ na svaya̍śaso ri̱śāda̍saḥ pra̱vāso̱ na prasi̍tāsaḥ pari̱pruṣa̍ḥ ||
Ye are like horses fastened to the chariot poles, luminous with your beams, with splendour as at dawn; Like self-bright falcons, punishers of wicked men, like hovering birds urged forward, scattering rain around.
10.77.6
pra yad vaha̍dhve marutaḥ parā̱kād yū̱yam ma̱haḥ sa̱ṁvara̍ṇasya̱ vasva̍ḥ |
vi̱dā̱nāso̍ vasavo̱ rādhya̍syā̱rāc ci̱d dveṣa̍ḥ sanu̱tar yu̍yota ||
When ye come forth, O Maruts, from the distance, from the great treasury of rich possessions, Knowing, O Vasus, boons that should be granted, even from afar drive back the men who hate us.
10.77.7
ya u̱dṛci̍ ya̱jñe a̍dhvare̱ṣṭhā ma̱rudbhyo̱ na mānu̍ṣo̱ dadā̍śat |
re̱vat sa vayo̍ dadhate su̱vīra̱ṁ sa de̱vānā̱m api̍ gopī̱the a̍stu ||
He who, engaged in the rite's final duty brings, as a man, oblation to the Maruts, Wins him life's wealthy fulness, blest with heroes: he shall be present, too, where Gods drink Soma.
10.77.8
te hi ya̱jñeṣu̍ ya̱jñiyā̍sa̱ ūmā̍ ādi̱tyena̱ nāmnā̱ śambha̍viṣṭhāḥ |
te no̍ 'vantu ratha̱tūr ma̍nī̱ṣām ma̱haś ca̱ yāma̍nn adhva̱re ca̍kā̱nāḥ ||
For these are helps adored at sacrifices, bringing good fortune by their name Âdityas. Speeding on cars let them protect our praises, delighting in our sacrifice and worship.
