Sukta 24
म॒रुतः॒ पर्व॑ता॒नामधि॑पतय॒स्ते मा॑वन्तु । अ॒स्मिन् ब्रह्म॑ण्य॒स्मिन् कर्म॑ण्य॒स्यां पु॑रो॒धाया॑म॒स्यां प्र॑ति॒ष्ठाया॑म॒स्यां चित्त्या॑म॒स्यामाकू॑त्याम॒स्यामा॒शिष्य॒स्यां दे॒वहू॑त्यां॒ स्वाहा॑
marútaḥ párvatānām ádhipatayaḥ té mā́ avantu | asmín bráhmaṇy asmín kármaṇy asyā́m purodhā́yām asyā́m pratíṣṭhāyām asyā́m cittiyā́m asyā́m ākū́tyām asyā́m āśíṣy asyā́m devahū́tyāṁ svā́hā
The Maruts, overlords of the Mountains, let them protect me. In this holy utterance, in this operation; in this fore-setting, in this establishment; in this ordered piling, in this intent; in this blessing, in this calling of the Gods—Svāhā!
मरुत देवता पहाड़ों के मालिक हैं, वो मुझे बचाएं। यह मंत्र, यह काम, यह शुरुआत, यह स्थापना, यह प्लान, यह इरादा, यह आशीर्वाद, यह देवताओं को बुलाना, सब में मुझे रक्षा मिले। स्वाहा।
