MANDALA 5

HYMN LX. Maruts. 60

1. I LAUD with reverence the gracious Agni: here may he sit and part our meed among us.
As with spoilseeking- cars I bring oblation: turned rightward I will swell the Maruts',
praisesong-.
2 The Maruts, yea, the Rudras, who have mounted their famous spotted deer and cars swiftmoving-,
Before you, fierce Ones! woods bow down in terror: Earth, even the mountain, trembles at your
coming.
3 Though vast and tall, the mountain is affrighted, the height of heaven is shaken at your roaring
When, armed with lances, ye are sporting, Maruts, and rush along together like the waters.
4 They, like young suitors, sons of wealthy houses, have with their golden natures decked their
bodies.
Strong on their cars, the lordly Ones, for glory, have set their splendours on their forms for
ever.
5 None being eldest, none among them youngest, as brothers they have grown to happy fortune.
May their Sire Rudra, young and deft, and Prsni pouring much milk, bring fair days to the Maruts.
6 Whether, O blessed Maruts, ye be dwelling in highest, midmost, or in lowest heaven,
Thence, O ye Rudras, and thou also, Agni, notice the sacrificial food we offer.
7 O Maruts, Lords of all, when Agni and when ye drive downward from sublimest heaven along the
heights,
Shakers of all, rejoicing, slayers of the foe, give riches to the Somapressing- worshipper.
8 O Agni, with the Maruts as they gleam and sing, gathered in troop, rejoicing drink the Soma
juice;
With these the living ones who cleanse and further all, joined with thy banner, O Vaisvanara, from
of old.

HYMN LXI. Maruts. 61

1. O HEROES lordliest of all, who are ye that have singly come
Forth from a region most remote?
2. Where are your horses, where the reins? How came ye? how had ye the power?
Rein was on nose and seat on back.
3 The whip is laid upon the flank. The heroes stretch their thighs apart,
Like women when the babe is born.
4 Go ye, O Heroes, far away, ye bridegrooms with a lovely Spouse
That ye may warm you at the fire.
5 May she gain cattle for her meed, hundreds of sheep and steeds and kine,
Who threw embracing arms around the hero whom gyavaiva praised.
6 Yea, many a woman is more firm and better than the man who turns
Away from Gods, andoffers not.
7 She who discerns the weak and worn, the man who thirsts and is in want
She sets her mind upon the Gods.
8 And yet full many a one, unpraised, mean niggard, is entitled man:
Only in weregild is he such.
9 And she, the young, the joyousspirited-, divulged the path to Syava, yea, to me.
Two red steeds carried me to Purumilhas' side, that sage of farextended- fame,
10 Him who, like Vaidadasvi, like Taranta, hath bestowed on me
A hundred cows in liberal gift.
11 They who are borne by rapid steeds, drinking the meath that gives delight,
They have attained high glories here.
12 They by whose splendour both the worlds are overspread- they shine on cars
As the gold gleams above in heaven.
13 That Marut band is ever young, borne on bright cars, unblamable,
Moving to victory, checked by none.
14 Who knoweth, verily, of these where the Allshakers- take delight,
Born, spotless, after sacred Law?
15 Guides are ye, lovers of the song to mortal man through holy hymn,
And hearers when he cries for help.
16 Do ye, destroyers of the foe, worshipful and exceeding bright,
Send down the treasures that we crave.
17 OUrmya, bear thou far away to Darbhya this my hymn of praise,
Songs, Goddess, as if chariotborne-.
18 From me to Rathaviti say, when he hath pressed the Soma juice,
The wish I had departeth not.
19 This wealthy Rathaviti dwells among the people rich in kine,
Among the mountains, far withdrawn.

HYMN LXII. MitraVaruna- 62

1. BY your high Law firm order is established there where they loose for travel Suryas' horses.
Ten hundred stood together: there I looked on this the most marvellous Deities' one chief glory.
2 This, MitraVaruna-, is your special greatness: floods that stood there they with the days
attracted.
Ye cause to flow all voices of the cowpen: your single chariotfelly hath rolled hither.
3 O MitraVaruna-, ye by your greatness, both Kings, have firmly stablished earth and heaven,
Ye caused the cows to stream, the plants to flourish, and, scattering swift drops, sent down the
rainflood-.
4 Let your wellharnessed- horses bear you hither: hitherward let them come with reins drawn
tightly.
A covering cloud of sacred oil attends you, and your streams flow to us from days aforetime.
5 To make the lustre wider and more famous, guarding the sacred grass with veneration,
Ye, MitraVaruna-, firm, strong, aweinspiring-, are seated on a throne amid oblations.
6 With hands that shed no blood, guarding the pious, whom, Varuni, ye save amid oblations.
Ye Twain, together, Kings of willing spirit, uphold dominion based on thousand pillars.
7 Adorned with gold, its columns are of iron. in heaven it glitters like a whip for horses;
Or stablished on a field deepspoiled- and fruitful. So may we share the meath that loads your
carseat-.
8 Ye mount your car goldhued- at break of morning, and ironpillared- when the Sun is setting,
And from that place, O Varuna and Mitra, behold infinity and limittion~.
9 Bountiful guardians of the world! the shelter that is impenetrable, strongest, flawless,
Aid us with that, O Varuna and Mitra, and when we long to win may we be victors.

HYMN LXIII. MitraVaruna-. 63

1. GUARDIANS of Order, ye whose Laws are ever true, in the sublimest heaven your chariot ye ascend.
O MitraVaruna- whomsoever ye: favour, here, to him the rain with sweetness streameth down from
heaven.
2 This worlds' imperial Kings, O MitraVaruna-, ye rule in holy synod, looking on the light.
We pray for rain, your boon, and immortality. Through heaven and over earth the thunderers take
their way.
3 Imperial Kings, strong, Heroes, Lords of earth and heaven, Mitra and Varuna, ye ever active Ones,
Ye wait on thunder with the manytinted- clouds, and by the Asuras' magic power cause Heaven to
rain.
4 Your magic, MitraVaruna-, resteth in the heaven. The Sun, the wondrous weapon, cometh forth as
light.
Ye hide him in the sky with cloud and flood of rain, and waterdrops-, Parjanya! full of sweetness
flow.
5 The Maruts yoke their easy car for victory, O MitraVaruna-, as a hero in the wars.
The thunderers roam through regions varied in their hues. Imperial Kings, bedew us with the milk
of heaven.
6 Refreshing is your voice, O MitraVaruna-: Parjanya sendeth out a wondrous mighty voice.
With magic power the Maruts clothe them with the clouds. Ye Two cause Heaven to rain, the red, the
spotless One.
7 Wise, with your Law and through the Asuras' magic power ye guard the ordinances, MitraVaruna-.
Ye by eternal Order govern all the world. Ye set the Sun in heaven as a refulgent car.

Who, as with penfold of your arms, encompass round the realm of light.
2 Stretch out your arms with favouring love unto this man who singeth hymns,
For in all places is sung forth your evergracious friendliness.
3 That I may gain a refuge now, may my steps be on Mitras' path.
Men go protected in the charge of this dear Friend who harms us not.
4 Mitra and Varuna, from you may I, by song, win noblest meed.
That shall stir envy in the homes of wealthy chiefs and those who praise.
5 With your fair splendours, Varuna and Mitra, to our gathering come,
That in their homes the wealthy chiefs and they who are your friends may thrive.
6 With those, moreover, among whom ye hold your high supremacy,
Vouchsafe us room that we may win strength for prosperity and wealth.

Supporting Arcananas, speed, ye Heroes, with your active feet hither to my pressed Soma juice.

The man whose praisesongs- Varuna the beautiful, or Mitra, loves.

3 Approaching you with prayer for aid, together I address you first

3 Therefore we praise you that your cars may travel far in front of ours-
You who accept the eulogy of Ratahavya with his hymns.
4 And ye show wMom, Wondrous Gods with fulness of intellIgence.
By mens' discernment are Ve marked, O ye whose might is purified.
5 This is the Law sublime, O Earth: to aid the Rsis' toil for fame

The Immortal Gods, O Varuna and Mitra, never impair your everlasting statutes.
