[rv-1-38] • 15 श्लोकाः

कद्ध नूनं कधप्रियः पिता पुत्रं न हस्तयोः । दधिध्वे वृक्तबर्हिषः ॥

kaddha nūnaṃ kadhapriyaḥ pitā putraṃ na hastayoḥ | dadhidhve vṛktabarhiṣaḥ ||

Maruts, who are fond of praise, and for whom the sacred grass is trimmed, when will you take us by both hands as a father does his son?

क्व नूनं कद्वो अर्थं गन्ता दिवो न पृथिव्याः । क्व वो गावो न रण्यन्ति ॥

kva nūnaṃ kadvo arthaṃ gantā divo na pṛthivyāḥ | kva vo gāvo na raṇyanti ||

Where indeed are you (at present)? When will your arrival take plural ce? Pass from the heaven, not from the earth. Where do they worship you cry (to you) like cattle?

क्व वः सुम्ना नव्यांसि मरुतः क्व सुविता । क्वो विश्वानि सौभगा ॥

kva vaḥ sumnā navyāṃsi marutaḥ kva suvitā | kvo viśvāni saubhagā ||

Where, Maruts, are your new treasures? Where your valuable (riches)? Where all your auspicious (gifts)?

यद्यूयं पृश्निमातरो मर्तासः स्यातन । स्तोता वो अमृतः स्यात् ॥

yadyūyaṃ pṛśnimātaro martāsaḥ syātana | stotā vo amṛtaḥ syāt ||

That you, sons of Pṛśni, may become mortals, and your panegyrist become immortal.

मा वो मृगो न यवसे जरिता भूदजोष्यः । पथा यमस्य गादुप ॥

mā vo mṛgo na yavase jaritā bhūdajoṣyaḥ | pathā yamasya gādupa ||

Never may your worshipper be indifferent to you, as a deer (is never indifferent) to pasture, so that he may not tread the path of Yama.

मो षु णः परापरा निॠतिर्दुर्हणा वधीत् । पदीष्ट तृष्णया सह ॥

mo ṣu ṇaḥ parāparā niṝtirdurhaṇā vadhīt | padīṣṭa tṛṣṇayā saha ||

Let not the most powerful and indestructible Nirṛti destroy us; let him perish with our (evil) desires.

सत्यं त्वेषा अमवन्तो धन्वञ्चिदा रुद्रियासः । मिहं कृण्वन्त्यवाताम् ॥

satyaṃ tveṣā amavanto dhanvañcidā rudriyāsaḥ | mihaṃ kṛṇvantyavātām ||

In truth the brilliant and vigorous Maruts, cherishes by Rudra, send down rain without wind upon the desert.

वाश्रेव विद्युन्मिमाति वत्सं न माता सिषक्ति । यदेषां वृष्टिरसर्जि ॥

vāśreva vidyunmimāti vatsaṃ na mātā siṣakti | yadeṣāṃ vṛṣṭirasarji ||

The lightning roars like a parent cow that bellows for its calf, and hence the rain is set free by the Maruts.

दिवा चित्तमः कृण्वन्ति पर्जन्येनोदवाहेन । यत्पृथिवीं व्युन्दन्ति ॥

divā cittamaḥ kṛṇvanti parjanyenodavāhena | yatpṛthivīṃ vyundanti ||

They spread darkness over the day by a water-bearing cloud, and thence inundate the earth.

अध स्वनान्मरुतां विश्वमा सद्म पार्थिवम् । अरेजन्त प्र मानुषाः ॥

adha svanānmarutāṃ viśvamā sadma pārthivam | arejanta pra mānuṣāḥ ||

At the roaring of the Maruts, every dwelling of earth (shakes), and men also tremble.

मरुतो वीऴुपाणिभिश्चित्रा रोधस्वतीरनु । यातेमखिद्रयामभिः ॥

maruto vīḻupāṇibhiścitrā rodhasvatīranu | yātemakhidrayāmabhiḥ ||

Maruts, with strong hands, come along the beautifully-embanked rivers, with obstructed progress.

स्थिरा वः सन्तु नेमयो रथा अश्वास एषाम् । सुसंस्कृता अभीशवः ॥

sthirā vaḥ santu nemayo rathā aśvāsa eṣām | susaṃskṛtā abhīśavaḥ ||

May the felloes of your wheels be firm; may your cars and their steeds be steady, and your fingers well-skilled (to hold the reins).

अच्छा वदा तना गिरा जरायै ब्रह्मणस्पतिम् । अग्निं मित्रं न दर्शतम् ॥

acchā vadā tanā girā jarāyai brahmaṇaspatim | agniṃ mitraṃ na darśatam ||

Declare in our presence, (priests), with voice attuned to praise Brahmaṇaspati (lord of the sacriricial food), Agni and the beautiful Mitra.

मिमीहि श्लोकमास्ये पर्जन्य इव ततनः । गाय गायत्रमुक्थ्यम् ॥

mimīhi ślokamāsye parjanya iva tatanaḥ | gāya gāyatramukthyam ||

Utter the verse that is in your mouths, spread it out like a cloud spreading rain; chant the measured hymn.

वन्दस्व मारुतं गणं त्वेषं पनस्युमर्किणम् । अस्मे वृद्धा असन्निह ॥

vandasva mārutaṃ gaṇaṃ tveṣaṃ panasyumarkiṇam | asme vṛddhā asanniha ||

Glorify the host of Maruts, brilliant, deserving of praise, entitled to adoration; may they be exalted by this our worship.
