Sanskrit

3.9.1

atha yac caturtham amṛtaṃ tan maruta upajīvanti somena mukhena \
na vai devā aśnanti na pibanti \
etad evāmṛtaṃ dṛṣṭvā tṛpyanti \\309.1\

1. Now, the Maruts live upon what is the fourth nectar [i.e. the Atharva-Veda] through Soma as their mouth. Verily, the gods neither eat nor drink. They are satisfied merely with seeing that nectar.

Robert Ernest Hume 1921, The Thirteen Principal Upanishads

3.9.2

ta etad eva rūpam abhisaṃviśanti \
etasmād rūpād udyanti \\309.2\

2. These enter that [exceedingly dark] form and come forth from that form.

Robert Ernest Hume 1921, The Thirteen Principal Upanishads

3.9.3

sa ya etad evam amṛtaṃ veda marutām evaiko bhūtvā somenaiva mukhenaitad evāmṛtaṃ dṛṣṭvā tṛpyati \
sa etad eva rūpam abhisaṃviśati \
etasmād rūpād udeti \\309.3\

3. He who knows thus that nectar becomes one of the Maruts themselves and through Soma as his mouth is satisfied merely with seeing that nectar. He enters that very form and comes forth from that form.

Robert Ernest Hume 1921, The Thirteen Principal Upanishads

3.9.4

sa yāvad ādityaḥ paścād udetā purastād astam etā dvis tāvad uttarata udetā dakṣiṇato 'stam etā marutām eva tāvad ādhipatyaṃ svārājyaṃ paryetā \\309.4\

4. As long as the sun shall rise in the west and set in the east, twice so long will it rise in the north and set in the south, and just that long will he compass the overlordship and the chief sovereignty of the Maruts.

Robert Ernest Hume 1921, The Thirteen Principal Upanishads
