Sukta 21
यू॒यमु॒ग्रा म॑रुतः पृश्निमातर॒ इन्द्रे॑ण यु॒जा प्र मृ॑णीत॒ शत्रू॑न्। सोमो॒ राजा॒ वरु॑णो॒ राजा॑ महादे॒व उ॒त मृ॒त्युरिन्द्रः॑
yūyám ugrā́ marutaḥ pṛśnimātara índreṇa yujā́ prá mṛṇīta śátrūn | sómo rā́jā váruṇo rā́jā mahādevá utá mṛtyúr índraḥ ||
Ye, fierce Maruts, children of Pṛśni, yoked in fellowship with Indra, smite forth and crush the foes. Soma is King, Varuṇa is King; and Mahādeva also—yea, Death (itself) is Indra.
你们,威猛的马鲁特(Maruts),普利什尼(Pṛśni)之母所生的子嗣,与因陀罗(Indra)结为同轭同盟者——奋起击打,粉碎诸敌。苏摩(Soma)为王,伐楼那(Varuṇa)为王;大天(Mahādeva)亦为王——是的,连死亡(Mṛtyu)本身亦是因陀罗。
Rishi: Atharvanic/Angiras-type attribution (hymn-level tradition; not securely determinable from the excerpt alone).
Devata: Maruts with Indra; extended sovereign powers (Soma, Varuṇa, Mahādeva, Mṛtyu).
Chandas: Mixed; predominantly triṣṭubh/jagatī-like cadence in martial invocations (needs pada-count verification).
Primary: vira
Secondary: raudra
