Kapālamocana-tīrtha (Auśanasa) and Balarāma’s Sarasvatī Pilgrimage
तत्रर्षय: सप्त जाता जज्ञिरे मरुतां गणा: । वायुवेगो वायुबलो वायुहा वायुमण्डल:
tatrarṣayaḥ sapta jātā jajñire marutāṃ gaṇāḥ | vāyuvego vāyubalo vāyuhā vāyumaṇḍalaḥ |
വൈശമ്പായനൻ പറഞ്ഞു— ആ കലശത്തിൽ ഏഴ് ഋഷിമാർ ജനിച്ചു; അവർ തന്നെയായിരുന്നു മരുത്ഗണങ്ങളുടെ ആദിരൂപം. അവരുടെ പേരുകൾ—വായുവേഗ, വായുബല, വായുഹാ, വായുമണ്ഡല.

The verse highlights how powerful natural forces (here, the wind embodied as Maruts) are presented as ordered and named lineages, suggesting that even immense energy is understood within a framework of cosmic structure and disciplined multiplicity.
Vaiśampāyana describes the birth of seven sage-like beings who become foundational Marut hosts, listing their names and indicating their role as progenitors of the wider Marut groups.
