Origins of the Maruts — Origins of the Maruts Across the Manvantaras (Pulastya–Narada Dialogue)

Devanagari script

एतत् तवोक्ता मरुतः पुरा यथा जाता वियद्व्याप्तिकरा महर्षे येषां श्रुते जन्मनि पापहानिर्भवेच्च धर्माभ्युदयो महान् वै

Transliteration

etat tavoktā marutaḥ purā yathā jātā viyadvyāptikarā maharṣe yeṣāṃ śrute janmani pāpahānirbhavecca dharmābhyudayo mahān vai

Translation

ಓ ಮಹರ್ಷೇ! ನೀನು ಹೇಳಿದಂತೆ ಮರುತರು ಪುರಾತನಕಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಜನಿಸಿದರು—ಆಕಾಶವನ್ನೆಲ್ಲ ವ್ಯಾಪಿಸುವವರು. ಅವರ ಜನ್ಮಕಥೆಯನ್ನು ಕೇಳಿದರೆ ಪಾಪನಾಶವಾಗುತ್ತದೆ ಮತ್ತು ಧರ್ಮದ ಮಹಾನ್ ಅಭ್ಯುದಯ ಉಂಟಾಗುತ್ತದೆ.
