Transliteration

mahānto mahnā vi-bhvo vibhūtayo dūre-dṛśo ye divyā iva stṛbhiḥ | mandrāḥ su-jihvāḥ svaritāra āsa-bhiḥ sam-miślā indre marutaḥ pari-stubhaḥ ||

Translation

Groß durch Größe, allumfassend in ihren Erscheinungen, weitsichtig wie die Göttlichen mit ihren strahlenden Gestalten; melodisch, schönzüngig, ihre eigenen Töne mit den Mündern ertönen lassend — die Maruts sind mit Indra vermischt, umschlossen vom Lobgesang.
