अयु॑ज्र॒न्त इ॑न्द्र वि॒श्वकृ॑ष्टीर्विदा॒नासो॑ नि॒ष्षिधो॑ मर्त्य॒त्रा | म॒रुतां॑ पृत्सु॒तिर्हास॑माना॒ स्व॑र्मीळहस्य प्र॒धन॑स्य सा॒तौ ||

That spear of thine sat firm for us, O Indra: the Maruts set their whole dread power in motion. E’en Agni shines resplendent in the brush-wood: the viands hold him as floods hold an island.

With thee, O Indra, are most bounteous riches that further every one who lives uprightly. Now may these Maruts show us loving-kindness, Gods who of old were ever prompt to help us.
1.169.6
प्रति॒ प्र या॑हीन्द्र मी॒ळहुषो॒ नॄन् म॒हः पार्थि॑वे॒ सद॑ने यतस्व | अध॒ यदे॑षां पृथुबु॒ध्नास॒ एता॑स्ती॒र्थे नार्यः पौंस्या॑नि त॒स्थुः ||
Bring forth the Men who rain down boons, O Indra: exert thee in the great terrestrial region; For their broad-chested speckled deer are standing like a King's armies on the field of battle.
1.169.7
प्रति॑ घो॒राणा॒मेता॑नाम॒यासां॑ म॒रुतां॑ शृण्व आय॒तामु॑प॒ब्दिः | ये मर्त्यं॑ पृतना॒यन्त॒मूमै॑र्ऋणा॒वानं॒ न प॒तय॑न्त॒ सर्गै॑: ||
Heard is the roar of the advancing Maruts, terrific, glittering, and swiftly moving, Who with their rush o’erthrow as ’twere a sinner the mortal who would fight with those who love him
1.169.8
त्वं माने॑भ्य इन्द्र वि॒श्वज॑न्या॒ रदा॑ म॒रुद्भि॑: शु॒रुधो॒ गोअ॑ग्राः | स्तवा॑नेभिः स्तवसे देव दे॒वैर्वि॒द्यामे॒षं वृ॒जनं॑ जी॒रदा॑नुम् ||
Give to the Mānas, Indra with Maruts, gifts universal, gifts of cattle foremost. Thou, God, art praised with Gods who must be lauded. May we find strengthening food in full abundance.
