1

Sing to the group that brings down rain together, the Great Assembly of celestial beings. They shake the world halves with their grandeur: from the depths of earth and sky they reach to heaven.

2

Yes, your birth, Maruts, was with wild commotion, you who move swiftly, fierce in anger, awesome. All-powerful in your might and vigor, every one of you makes those who see your arrival fear.

3

Grant us ample life force to our rulers; may our beautiful praises please the Maruts. As the path helps people along their journey, so further us with your delightful assistance.

4

Your favored singer counts his wealth by hundreds: the strong horse you favor wins a thousand. The Sovereign you aid overcomes the enemy. May this gift of yours, you Shakers, be distinguished.

5

I call them as such, the Sons of generous Rudra: will the Maruts not turn back to us? What secret sin or open acts of anger make us implore the Swift Ones to forgive us.

6

This praise of the Generous has been spoken: accept, Maruts, this our song of praise. You Bulls, keep those who hate us at a distance. Protect us forever, Gods, with blessings.
