RV 1 168.1

यज्ञा-यज्ञा वः समना तुतुर्वणिर् धियꣳ-धियꣳ वो देवया उ दधिध्वे । आ वो ऽर्वाचः सुविताय रोदस्योर् महे ववृत्याम् अवसे सुवृक्तिभिः

yajñā-yajñā vaḥ samanā tuturvaṇir dhiyaṁ-dhiyaṁ vo devayā u dadhidhve | ā vo 'rvācaḥ suvitāya rodasyor mahe vavṛtyām avase suvṛktibhiḥ

At sacrifice after sacrifice you press on together; thought after thought you have taken to yourselves, godward. May I turn you hither by my good hymns, for the well-being of the two worlds, for great help.

अव स्वयुक्ता दिव आ वृथा ययुर् अमर्त्याः कशया चोदत त्मना । अरेणवस् तुविजाता अचुच्यवुर् दृऴ्हानि चिन् मरुतो भ्राजदृष्टयः

Self-yoked they have come down at will from heaven — (you) immortals, urge (them) on with the whip by yourselves! Dustless, powerfully born, the Maruts with flashing spears have shaken even the firm things.

Who among you, O Maruts with lightning for spears, trembles by himself, as (one trembles) with the jaw, with the tongue? You who shake the wastelands, as if in the course of refreshments, with many urgings, like the day-going steed Etaśa.

क्व स्विद् अस्य रजसो महस् परꣳ क्वावरम् मरुतो यस्मिन्न् आयय । यच् च्यावयथ विथुरेव सꣳहितꣳ व्य् अद्रिणा पतथ त्वेषम् अर्णवम्

kva svid asya rajaso mahas paraṁ kvāvaram maruto yasminn āyaya | yac cyāvayatha vithureva saṁhitaṁ vy adriṇā patatha tveṣam arṇavam

Where, then, is the far limit of this great mid-space, where its nearer edge, O Maruts, to which you have come? When you make what is joined together fall as though it were unsteady, you fly apart with the stone (as) a glittering flood.

Like a winning that is forceful, sun-bringing, glittering, ripening, crushing, O Maruts; auspicious is your gift, like the reward-portion of one who gives fully, of broad sweep, roaring like a lordly power.

The rivers answer with sounding to the felly-rims, when they raise up the voice of the cloud. The lightnings smile down upon the earth, when the Maruts sprinkle out the ghee.

Pṛśni gave birth, for the great battle-joy, to the glittering front-rank of the tireless Maruts. Fellowship-keeping, they begot the formless might; then indeed they looked around upon (their) own vigorous nature.
