Sukta 15
ग॒णास्त्वोप॑ गायन्तु॒ मारु॑ताः पर्जन्य घो॒षिणः॒ पृथ॑क्। सर्गा॑ व॒र्षस्य॒ वर्ष॑तो॒ वर्ष॑न्तु पृथि॒वीमनु॑
gaṇā́s tvópa gāyantu mā́rutāḥ parjanya ghoṣíṇaḥ pṛ́thak | sárgā varṣásya várṣato várṣantu pṛthivī́m ánu ||
Let the companies of the Maruts, roaring aloud, sing unto thee, O Parjanya, each in his several quarter. Let the discharges of rain, as it raineth, rain down upon the Earth.
Mögen die Scharen der Maruts, laut dröhnend, dir singen, o Parjanya, ein jeder in seiner eigenen Himmelsgegend. Mögen die Ströme des Regens, wenn es regnet, regnend auf die Erde herabregnen.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (often anonymous/collective in rain-sūktas)
Devata: Parjanya with the Maruts as executive powers
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (with Atharvanic flexibility)
Primary: adbhuta
Secondary: shanta
