9. Bring forward, O strongly-anointed 1 (priests), your libations to the strong host of the Maruts, the strongly advancing.
10. O Maruts, O heroes, come quickly hither, like winged hawks, on your chariot with strong horses, of strong shape, with strong naves, to enjoy our libations.
11. Their anointing is the same, the golden chains shine on their arms, their spears sparkle.
12. These strong, manly, strong-armed Maruts, do not strive among themselves ; firm are the bows, the weapons on your chariot, and on your faces are splendours.
13. They whose terrible name!, wide-spreading like the ocean, is the one of all that is of use, whose strength is like the vigour of their father,
14. Worship these Maruts, and praise them! Of these shouters, as of moving spokes?, no one is the last; this is theirs by gift, by greatness 2 is it theirs.

16. Or he, O men, whose libations you went to enjoy; that mighty one, O shakers, will obtain your favours with brilliant riches and booty.
17. As the sons of Rudra, the servants of the divine Dyu?, will it, O youths, so shall it be.
18. Whatever liberal givers may worship 1 the Maruts, and move about together as generous ? benefactors, even from them turns towards us with a kinder heart, you youths! 19. O Sobhari, call loud with your newest song [32]
