Sukta 7.104

Rishi: Vasiṣṭha
Devata: Maruts

वि तिष्ठध्वं मरुतो विक्ष्विच्छत गृभायत रक्षसः सं पिनष्टन । वयो ये भूत्वी पतयन्ति नक्तभिर्ये वा रिपो दधिरे देवे अध्वरे ॥

ví tiṣṭhadhvaṃ maruto víkṣv ícchata gṛbhā́yata rákṣasaḥ sáṃ pinaṣṭana | váyo yé bhūtvī́ patáyanti naktábhīr yé vā rípo dadhiré devé adhvaré ||

Berpecahlah kamu, wahai Marut; selidikilah seluruh penempatan. Tangkaplah rakṣas itu dan hancurkan mereka bersama—mereka yang menjadi burung lalu terbang pada waktu malam, atau mereka yang menaruh permusuhan dalam yajña ketuhanan.
