Transliteration
prá vo mahé matáyo yantu víṣṇave marútvate giri-jā́ evayā́marut | prá śárdhāya práyajyave sukhā́daye távase bhandád-iṣṭaye dhúni-vratāya śávase ||
Translation
तुमच्या महान् ‘मती’ विष्णूकडे अग्रसर होवोत—मरुतांसह असलेल्या विष्णूकडे, हे गिरिज (पर्वतजन्मा) मरुतांनो. यज्ञास योग्य अशा ‘शर्ध’ (गण) कडे, सुखदायी शक्तीकडे, आनंदमय हविर्भाग प्रिय मानणाऱ्या बलवानाकडे; गर्जनध्वनी हेच ज्याचे व्रत (नियम) आहे अशा त्या तेजस्वी बळाकडे—पुढे वाहोत.
