té hí sthirásya śávasas sakhā́yaḥ sánti dhṛ́ṣṇu-yā́ | té yā́mann ā́ dhṛṣádvinas tmánā pā́nti śáśvataḥ ||
Translation
For they are comrades of stable strength, companions in bold force; in the journey they, the impetuous, protect by their own being always—so the Marut energies guard the upward movement with an enduring, self-sustained might.
