RIGVEDA SAMHITA : Mandala I




HYMN 86

Rishi: GOTAMA Deity: MARUTS

  1. He hath the best of guardians, O luminous Maruts, in whose dwelling, coming from the Heavens, ye drink the Soma.

  2. O Maruts, leaders of sacrifice, hearken to the call of the sage along with libations and lauds.

  3. And he whose intelligence the strong ones sharpen, moves into the dwelling of the Cows.

Intelligence: inner sight.

Cows: Rays of Consciousness.

  1. Ordained from on high, the Soma poured on the altar of the hero excels, the hymn of praise is uttered and there is joy.

  2. May they listen to (the praises by) him who surpasses all seers; may his impulsions reach even the Sun.

  3. For over many years, indeed, O Maruts, protected by the all-seers we have offered up our sacrifice.

  4. O Maruts, worthy of worship, may the mortal whose offerings you accept be fortunate.

  5. O heroes, strong in truth, bestow fulfilment of his longing wish on him who toils and sings your praises.

  6. Ye of unfailing strength manifest the might; strike down the demon with your shining greatness.

  7. Dispel the hidden darkness, drive away every devouring (fiend); manifest the Light for which we long.
