Sukta 27
अ॒पः स॑मु॒द्राद् दिव॒मुद् व॑हन्ति दि॒वस्पृ॑थि॒वीम॒भि ये सृ॒जन्ति॑ । ये अ॒द्भिरीशा॑ना म॒रुत॒श्चर॑न्ति ते नो॑ मुञ्च॒न्त्वंह॑सः
ápaḥ samudrā́d divám úd vahanti divás pṛthivī́m abhí yé sṛjánti | yé adbhír ī́śānā marútaś cáranti té no muñcántv áṃhasaḥ ||
The Waters from the ocean bear aloft unto the heaven; from heaven they send them forth upon the earth. The Maruts, lords by means of waters, who course abroad—let them release us from distress and sin.
पानी समुंदर से आसमान तक जाता है। वहाँ से धरती पर बरसता है। मरुत देवता पानी के ज़रिए शक्ति चलाते हैं। यह हमें पाप और तकलीफ से आज़ाद करें।
