MANDALA V, HYMN 61.
357
12. (2.) They on whose chariots Rodasi? glitters in glory, like the golden disk above in heaven;
13. (3.) That youthful company of the Maruts, with blazing chariots, blameless, triumphant, irresistible.
14. (4.) Who now knows of them where the strikers rejoice, the well-born, the faultless ?
15. (5.) You who are fond of praise, become the leaders of the mortal, listening to his imploring invocations, thus is my thought'.
16. (6.) Bring then to us delightful and resplendent treasures, ye worshipful Maruts, destroyers of enemies.
17. (1.) O night, like a charioteer, carry away this hymn to Darbhya, and these songs, O goddess.
18. (2.) And then tell him thus from me, 'When Rathaviti offers Soma, my desire never goes away from me.'
19. (3.) That mighty Rathaviti dwells among people rich in cattle', retired among the mountains.
