MANDALA I, HYMN 172. ASHTAKA II, ADHYAYA 4, VARGA 12.
TO THE MARUTS (THE STORM-Gons). 1. May your march be brilliant, brilliant through your protection, O Maruts, you bounteous givers, shining like snakes!
2. May that straightforward shaft of yours, O Maruts, bounteous givers, be far from us, and far the stone which you hurl!
3. Spare, O bounteous givers, the people of Trinaskanda, lift us up that we may live!
