Rig Veda 5.53.9: Mandala 5, Sukta 53, Mantra 9

Sukta 5.53

Rishi: Atri (Ātreya) tradition; hymn to the Maruts (attribution commonly given to Atri or Atris in Mandala 5 Marut sections)
Devata: Maruts (storm-powers; collective hosts of Indra’s force)
Chandas: Trishtubh (dominant meter in this Marut hymn section; this verse follows the typical Trishtubh cadence)

मा वो रसानितभा कुभा क्रुमुर्मा वः सिन्धुर्नि रीरमत् । मा वः परि ष्ठात्सरयुः पुरीषिण्यस्मे इत्सुम्नमस्तु वः ॥

mā vo rásā anitabhā kúbhā krúmur mā vaḥ síndhur ní rīramat | mā vaḥ pári ṣṭhāt saráyuḥ purīṣíṇy asmé ít sumnám astu vaḥ ||

Que les courants — Rasā, Anitabhā, Kubhā et Krumu — n’amoindrissent pas votre élan; que le Sindhu ne vous fasse pas rebrousser chemin; que Sarayu, riche de plénitude, ne se dresse pas autour de vous comme une barrière. Pour nous, en vérité, que soit votre faveur bienveillante.
