Sukta 3.26
अग्निश्रियो मरुतो विश्वकृष्टय आ त्वेषमुग्रमव ईमहे वयम् । ते स्वानिनो रुद्रिया वर्षनिर्णिजः सिंहा न हेषक्रतवः सुदानवः ॥
agníśriyo marúto viśvákṛṣṭaya ā́ tveṣám ugrám áva īmahe vayám | te svānínaḥ rudríyā varṣánirṇijaḥ siṁhā́ na heṣákratavaḥ sudā́navaḥ ||
We call for the help of the Maruts who carry the splendour of Agni, powers belonging to all the peoples. We seek their fierce and vehement protection. Those roaring Rudra-powers, clothed in the rain’s shining force, are like lions—impetuous in will and generous in their giving.
