Rig Veda 6.48.12: Mandala 6, Sukta 48, Mantra 12

Sukta 6.48

Rishi: Bharadvāja
Devata: Maruts (invoked through the ‘cow’/inspiration that nourishes them; secondary tie to Agni hymn-context)
Chandas: Trishtubh (probable)

या शर्धाय मारुताय स्वभानवे श्रवोऽमृत्यु धुक्षत । या मृळीके मरुतां तुराणां या सुम्नैरेवयावरी ॥

yā́ śárdhāya mārútāya svabhā́nave śrávo ’mṛ́tyu dhúkṣata | yā́ mṛḷīké marútāṃ turā́ṇāṃ yā́ sumnáir evayā́varī ||

Wahai daya ilham itu—yang bagi bala Marut, bagi yang bercahaya dengan sendirinya, memerah kemasyhuran yang menewaskan maut; yang menjadi rahmat bagi Marut yang pantas; yang dengan berkat-berkatnya mendatangkan kedekatan yang didambakan—biarlah ia mengalir.
