Griffith, [1895]\n1I think upon the Maruts: may they bless me, may they assist\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0me to this wealth in battle. p. a136\n \u00a0\u00a0I call them like swift well-trained steeds to help us. May they\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0deliver us from grief and trouble.\n 2Those who surround the never-failing fountain for ever, and\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0bedew the plants with moisture,\n \u00a0\u00a0The Maruts, Prini's sons, I chiefly honour. May they deliver us\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0from grief and trouble.\n 3Bards, who invigorate the milk of milch-kine, the sap of growing\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0plants, the speed of coursers\n \u00a0\u00a0To us may the strong Maruts be auspicious. May they deliver us\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0from grief and trouble.\n 4They who raised water from the sea to heaven and send it from\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0the sky to earth in showers,\n \u00a0\u00a0The Maruts who move mighty with their waters, may they\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0deliver us from grief and trouble.\n 5They who delight in nectar and in fatness, they who bestow\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0upon us health and vigour.\n \u00a0\u00a0The Maruts who rain mighty with their waters, may they deliver\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0us from grief and trouble.\n 6Whether with stormy might the Maruts established this All, or\n \u00a0\u00a0Gods with their celestial power,\n \u00a0\u00a0Ye, kindly Gods, are able to restore it. May they deliver us from\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0grief and trouble.\n 7Potent in battles is the Maruts' army, impetuous train, well-\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0known, exceeding mighty.\n \u00a0\u00a0I, suppliant, praise and oft invoke the Maruts. May they deliver\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0us from grief and trouble.","title":"Atharva Veda: Book 4: Hymn 27: A hymn to the Maruts","type":"page"}
