Sukta 77
Sukta 10.77
Maruts (storm-host) / their gaṇa
Trishtubh (probable)
Is mantra mein Marut devtaon ki bahut tareef hai. Wo ek chamakdar toofani sena ki tarah hain. Unki baarish paani bhi deti hai aur ashirwad bhi. Wo ek dum sahi tareeke se chalte hain, jaise koi accha yajya hota hai. Isme unki shakti ko bulaya gaya hai taki buraai door ho aur dimaag tez ho. Ant mein unse prarthana hai ki wo hamare acche khayalon ki raksha karein.
Mantras
Mantra 1
अभ्रप्रुषो न वाचा प्रुषा वसु हविष्मन्तो न यज्ञा विजानुषः । सुमारुतं न ब्रह्माणमर्हसे गणमस्तोष्येषां न शोभसे ॥
Jaise baadal se paani barsata hai, waise hi shabd se tum dhan bante ho. Yeh jaante hain kaise yagya karna hai. Inki baat mein taqat hai. Main inki team ki tareef karta hoon. Yeh chamak ke saamne aao.
Mantra 2
श्रिये मर्यासो अञ्जीँरकृण्वत सुमारुतं न पूर्वीरति क्षपः । दिवस्पुत्रास एता न येतिर आदित्यासस्ते अक्रा न वावृधुः ॥
Yeh jawan veer chamak-damak banate hain sundarta ke liye. Raat ke andhere ko peeche chhod dete hain. Yeh aasman ke bete hain. Apna raasta chalte hain. Aditya jaise mazboot hain. Badh rahe hain taqat mein.
Mantra 3
प्र ये दिवः पृथिव्या न बर्हणा त्मना रिरिच्रे अभ्रान्न सूर्यः । पाजस्वन्तो न वीराः पनस्यवो रिशादसो न मर्या अभिद्यवः ॥
Yeh aasman aur dharti se nikalte hain. Apne aap ko failate hain jaise suraj baadal se nikalta hai. Yeh chamakte hain jaise bahadur log. Jeet ke liye taiyaar hain. Raste mein jo rukawatein hain, unko khatam karte hain. Aage badhte hain roshni ki taraf.
Mantra 4
युष्माकं बुध्ने अपां न यामनि विथुर्यति न मही श्रथर्यति । विश्वप्सुर्यज्ञो अर्वागयं सु वः प्रयस्वन्तो न सत्राच आ गत ॥
Tumhari gehraai mein dharti hilta nahi. Mazboot hai sab. Yeh yagya sab taqat lekar tumhare paas aa raha hai. Taiyaar logon ki tarah milkar aao. Yahan pahunch jao.
Mantra 5
यूयं धूर्षु प्रयुजो न रश्मिभिर्ज्योतिष्मन्तो न भासा व्युष्टिषु । श्येनासो न स्वयशसो रिशादसः प्रवासो न प्रसितासः परिप्रुषः ॥
Marut devta gaadi mein jude hain, jaise suraj ki kiran hoti hai. Subah ki roshni mein chamakte hain. Baaz ki tarah tez hain, apni shaan khud banaate hain. Buraai ko kha jaate hain. Door tak jaate hain, apna kaam karte hain. Apni barkha chaaron taraf baha dete hain.
Mantra 6
प्र यद्वहध्वे मरुतः पराकाद्यूयं महः संवरणस्य वस्वः । विदानासो वसवो राध्यस्याराच्चिद्द्वेषः सनुतर्युयोत ॥
Jab Marut door se aate hain, woh badi sampatti le kar aate hain. Sahi faayda jaante hain, Vasu kehte hain inko. Dushmani ko door se bhaga dete hain. Hamaare raaste se bahut door kar dete hain.

य उदृचि यज्ञे अध्वरेष्ठा मरुद्भ्यो न मानुषो ददाशत् । रेवत्स वयो दधते सुवीरं स देवानामपि गोपीथे अस्तु ॥
Jo insaan yagya mein seedha khada hota hai, Marut devta ko bhog lagata hai, woh saccha insaan hota hai. Use dhan milta hai, bal milta hai. Bhagwan ki suraksha mein rehta hai.
Mantra 8
ते हि यज्ञेषु यज्ञियास ऊमा आदित्येन नाम्ना शम्भविष्ठाः । ते नोऽवन्तु रथतूर्मनीषां महश्च यामन्नध्वरे चकानाः ॥
Yagya mein sabse bade hain, Aditya naam se jaane jaate hain. Bhagwan ki suraksha dete hain, hamaare iraade ko rath ki tarah tez karte hain. Badi badai aur saaf raaste mein khush rehte hain.
