Is mantra mein Maruton ko bulaya ja raha hai. Ye Indra ke saath aane wale toofani sena hain. Unhe upar chamakta aasmaan se niche logon ke beech lane ki baat hai. Agni unka rasta banata hai aur unka aana sahi tarah se kaam karta hai. Marut ek saath milke aate hain aur bahut chamakdar hain. Unka aana aage badhne ka ek zabardast josh hai. Yeh maanga ja raha hai ki unke aane se khushali aaye. Sahi irada aur accha bhagya mile jisme yagya karne wale ke liye fayda ho.

Mantra 1
अग्ने शर्धन्तमा गणं पिष्टं रुक्मेभिरञ्जिभिः । विशो अद्य मरुतामव ह्वये दिवश्चिद्रोचनादधि ॥
Agni se dua hai ki aaj Marut ki sena bulwa de. Yeh sab milkar ek jaisi taakat hain, sona pehen ke chamak rahe hain. Aasman ki roshni se yahan aayein aur hamare beech sahi kaam shuru karein.
Mantra 2
यथा चिन्मन्यसे हृदा तदिन्मे जग्मुराशसः । ये ते नेदिष्ठं हवनान्यागमन्तान्वर्ध भीमसंदृशः ॥
Jo bhi tumhare dil mein hai, meri umein wahi tak pahunchi hain. Jo pukar tumhare sabse karib gayi hai, use aur mazboot karo. Tumhari nazar badi taakatwali hai, isliye woh pukar seedha kaam karegi.
Mantra 3
मीळ्हुष्मतीव पृथिवी पराहता मदन्त्येत्यस्मदा । ऋक्षो न वो मरुतः शिमीवाँ अमो दुध्रो गौरिव भीमयुः ॥
Jaise dharti ko hila ke jhukaya jata hai, waise hi ek taakat hamari taraf aa rahi hai. Marut ki taakat jaise bhalu hai, na rukti hai, bail jaisi tez hai, aur dekhne mein badi bhayanak hai.

Yeh apni taakat se sabko hila dete hain, jaise bail jo ruke nahi. Pahad bhi, patthar bhi, jo aasman ki taraf jaata hai, use bhi apni raah se hila dete hain. Hamare andar ke rukawaton ko bhi hata dete hain.
Mantra 5
उत्तिष्ठ नूनमेषां स्तोमैः समुक्षितानाम् । मरुतां पुरुतममपूर्व्यं गवां सर्गमिव ह्वये ॥
Ab utho, kyunki stuti se inki taakat badh gayi hai. Main Marut ko bulata hoon, bahut badi taakat, jaise gaay khul ke nikal aayein. Yeh roshni ki tarah hai jo bahar aa rahi hai.
Mantra 6
युङ्ग्ध्वं ह्यरुषी रथे युङ्ग्ध्वं रथेषु रोहितः । युङ्ग्ध्वं हरी अजिरा धुरि वोळ्हवे वहिष्ठा धुरि वोळ्हवे ॥
Laal ghode rath mein jodo. Rath pe laal ghode jodo. Tez ghode aage laga ke chalao. Sabse acche ghode hain yeh, aage laga ke chalao. Bhagwan ki shakti ko sahi disha mein lagao.

उत स्य वाज्यरुषस्तुविष्वणिरिह स्म धायि दर्शतः । मा वो यामेषु मरुतश्चिरं करत्प्र तं रथेषु चोदत ॥
Yeh laal ghoda bahut taqatwar hai aur aawaz bhi zor ki karta hai. Yeh saamne dikh raha hai. Marut, isko safar mein mat rokho. Rath pe isko aage badhao. Tez chalnewali cheez raste mein koi rukawat na aane de.

रथं नु मारुतं वयं श्रवस्युमा हुवामहे । आ यस्मिन्तस्थौ सुरणानि बिभ्रती सचा मरुत्सु रोदसी ॥
Ab hum Marut ki shakti ko bulate hain. Yeh rath jeetne wali khabar laata hai aur naam roshan karta hai. Aasman aur dharti dono isme aa ke khade ho jaate hain. Dono khush hokar Marut ke saath chalte hain.

Tumhari sena ko bulate hain jo rath pe chamak rahi hai. Yeh tez hai aur sahi kaam ke liye taiyaar hai. Isme ek shakti badi hoti hai jo acche ghar se aayi hai. Woh Marut ke saath mil ke deti hai.
Frequently Asked Questions
Agni functions as the divine messenger in Vedic ritual. By calling Agni first, the poet asks him to conduct the Maruts from the heavenly luminous realm into the sacrifice and the human community.
The Maruts are a group of storm and wind powers—many acting as one—known for speed, brilliance, and a roaring presence. They bring energizing movement, protection, and the conditions for rain and increase.
In Vedic poetry, “cows” often symbolize rays of light or streams of abundance. The hymn uses this image to say the Maruts’ coming releases luminous, life-giving energies outward into the world.
