Let not those ancient manly powers turn hither against us; let the glories be for you. Let them not waste us, nor waste us aforetime. What wondrous might of yours, age after age, is ever new, deathless, born of the shout—O Maruts, set that within us: both what is hard to withstand, and what is hard to overpass.
मरुत देवताओं की पुरानी शक्ति हमारे खिलाफ न हो। वो हमारे लिए अच्छी चीज़ें लाएँ। वो हमें न बिगाड़ें, हमारा खराब न करें। मरुत की जो शक्ति हर वक्त नयी है और अमर है, वो हमें मिले। जो मुश्किल से रोका जा सके और जिससे आगे बढ़ना मुश्किल हो, वो ताकत हमारे अंदर आए।
