1.  When an inspired one distilled for you, O Marut-s,
    a libation in triṣtubʰ meter,
    you shine forth among the knotty ones.

2.  When, ho, O seeking power to control ones,
    you fixed your gaze on a course, O replenishing ones,
    the knotty ones gave way.
------

3.  They, roaring, having Pṛśni for mother,
    shall excite by means of vital airs,
    they shall draw out a swelling libation.

4.  Marut-s cast fog,
    quake the knotty ones,
    when they move along the course together with vital airs.

5.  When the mountain [settle] for your movement,
    [and] rivers over the receptacle keep back
    for the sake of mighty fervor,

6.  we summon you to help at night,
    you by day, you when a sacrifice
    that is to proceed on its way is commencing.

7.  Those appearing to give a chance to move upwards
    do arise, attracting attention with [their] movements,
    roaring over the plateau of the Heaven.

8.  With vigour they cast a ray of light ---
    the path for the sun to travel;
    through [differing] representations they have remained apart.
------

9.  Do like this my song, O Marut-s,
    this my chant, O masters of Ṛbʰu-s,
    this my call!
------

10. For him who is wielding a thunderbolt
    three pools the manifold ones have milked for honey:
    the spring¹, the cask², the well³.

11. O Marut-s, when indeed we, being in your graces,
    call you from the Heaven,
    then do visit us.

12. Since you, O generous ones,
    O Rudra-s, O masters of Ṛbʰu-s,
    are at home and foresighted during intoxication,

13. reach for our sake, O Marut-s,
    oozing exhilaration, abundant,
    nourishing-all treasure from the Heaven!

14. You are intoxicated with effusing drops of pure Soma
    like [you, recruits, were] when you fixed your gaze
    on a course above, over the mountains, O replenishing ones!

15. A mortal can wish for benevolence
    of just such strong [troop] --- of these ones ---
    of free from deceit through manic thoughts.

16. Which are like drops ---
    they, milking inexhaustible spring,
    blow over both Rodas-es with rains.

17. They rise upwards with roars,
    upwards --- with chariots, upwards --- with vital airs
    upwards --- with chants, they, whose mother is Pṛṣṇi.

18. With what you helped Turvaśa [and] Yadu,
    with what [you helped] Kaṇva who carried away the prize ---
    may we well take pleasure in the riches of that!

19. Like ghee [strengthens fire], these here swelling libations
    together with manic thoughts of Kaṇva descendant
    will strengthen you, O generous ones!

20. Where are you, O generous ones, exhilarating now,
    O you whose ritual grass has been twisted!
    Which learned priest honors you?
------

21. Surely it is not for you as it was before ---
    with chants, O you⁴ whose ritual grass has been twisted,
    you urge on swarms of coherence⁵.

22. These have put together mighty waters,
    together Heaven and Earth, together the sun⁶,
    together the thunderbolt --- limb-by-limb.

23. Limb-by-limb they parted ways with Vṛtra,
    with lacking splendor knotty ones,
    accomplishing [thus] bullish manly deed.

24. They boosted the fervor and resourcefulness
    of fighting Trita,
    [they boosted] Indra during show of force with Vṛtra.
------

25. Having lightning in hands, aiming at the Heaven,
    golden visors on the head,
    beautifying [yourselves], you shall smear yourselves distinctly --- for a good fortune. 

26. When with a desire you traveled from afar
    to the [bodily] opening of a bull
    the Heaven didn't roar from fear.

27. Here, to give us [a gift] of fighting spirit,
    O deva-s, come near
    with horses whose forefeet are golden!
------

28. When dappled mares of these [Marut-s] [are yoked] to the chariot,
    [and] reddish one ⁷, being in front, conveys,
    [and] beautifying [themselves] ones journey [and] release the waters,

29. [then] in abounding with Soma Śaryaṇāvat,
    in offering-fixed-habitation Ārjīka,
    the men⁸ travel without wheels.
------

30. When would you, O Marut-s, approach
    inspired [for your sake], calling upon [you]
    seeking help in [your] mercy [man]?

31. What now, O ever dear ones,
    when you abandoned Indra?
    Who, being friends with you, does deliberate?
------

32. Presently, together with [those⁹] having thunderbolt in hands,
    for our sake, O Kaṇva descendants, I praise Agni
    together with having golden pointed knives Marut-s.
------

33. To seeking the first of [a] sacrifice bulls,
    again and again I can rightly turn to for an easy passage,
    [to them] whose rushes of vigour are distinguished.

34. Even mountains retract,
    being imagined as embracing;
    even knotty ones has kept back:

35. riding by an eye, 
    flying through the intermediate space,
    mediators convey here mental energy for a praiser.

36. Since Agni, enticing like he who vivifies with lustre,
    was born first,
    they have remained apart through representations.
