VEDIC HYMNS.
with full power, may that terrible power help, Evayâmarut. In your raid you are indeed to be seen as charioteers ; deliver us therefore from the enemy, like shining fires.
7. May then these Rudras, lively like fires and with vigorous shine, help, Evayâmarut. The seat of the earth is stretched out far and wide', when the hosts of these faultless Maruts come quickly to the races.
8. Come kindly on your path, O Maruts, listen to the call of him who praises you, Evayâmarut. Confidants of the great Vishnu, may you together, like charioteers, keep all hateful things far", by your wonderful skill.
9. Come zealously to our sacrifice, ye worshipful, hear our guileless call, Evayâmarut. Like the oldest mountains in the sky, O wise guardians, prove yourselves for him irresistible to the enemy.
