MANDALA VI, HYMN 66.
369
shining Rodast stood among the impetuous Maruts, like 8 a light.
7. Even though your carriage, O Maruts, be without your deer', without horses, and not driven by any charioteer, without drag”, and without reins, yet, crossing the air, it passes between heaven and earth, finishing its courses.
8. No one can stop, no one can overcome him whom you, O Maruts, protect in battle. He whom you protect in his kith, his cattle, his kin, and his waters, he breaks the stronghold at the close of the day..
9. Offer a beautiful song to the host of the Maruts, the singers, the quick, the strong, who resist violence with violence; O Agni, the earth trembles before the champions.
10. Blazing like the flame of the sacrifices, flickering like the tongues of the fire, shouters, like roaring fighters, the flame-born Maruts are unassailable.
11. I invite with my call this strong and Marutlike son of Rudra?, armed with flaming spears. Bright thoughts, like wild waters from the mountain?, strove to reach the host of heaven.
