Maruts : the storm-gods, who hold a very prominent place in the Vedas & are represented as friends & allies of Indra. The Maruts are Life-Powers & Thought-Powers. Their numbers vary according to the forms in which they manifest.

(10) Omniscient are the Strong Ones and dwellers with the riches, inseparably joined to strengths and overflowing in might, shooters who hold the javelin in their two hands of light, infinite strengths with daggers of puissance. (11) Increasing the waters the Maruts with their blazing lances grind... straight force crossing the middle world. (13) Soon that mortal whom ye have cherished, O Maruts, takes his place in might above all men. He gets with his war-horses and his strong ones wealth and plenty and dwells in a wise will that meets the question and increases. (14) Put in the masters of riches, O ye Maruts, a luminous strength active in works and hard to wound in the battles and may we increase... of our assailants to whom we call in the mellays, May that Indra with his retinue of Maruts be with us for our increase. (2) The Slayer of the Coverer whose march is intangible like the course of the Sun, in his greatest strength with his own rushing comrades, May that Indra with his retinue of Maruts be with us for our increase. (3) He whose paths go as if milking the streams of heaven ...
... puissantly prepared. Now he offers the sacrifice again to the Maruts, but couples with that brilliant Name the more puissant godhead of Indra. Let the Maruts then bear no wrath for the interrupted sacrifice but accept this new and more justly guided action. Agastya turns, in the two closing verses, from the Maruts to Indra. The Maruts represent the progressive illumination of human mentality, until... perfect Word I seek right mentality from the swift in the passage. Take delight, O Maruts, in the things of knowledge, lay aside your wrath, unyoke your steeds. एष वः स्तोमो मरुतो नमस्वान्हृदा तष्टो मनसा धायि देवाः । उपेमा यात मनसा जुषाणा यूयं हि ष्ठा नमस इद्वृधासः ॥२॥ 2) Lo, the hymn of your affirmation, O Maruts; it is fraught with my obeisance, it was framed by the heart, it was established... मृळयन्तूत स्तुतो मधवा शम्भविष्ठः । ऊर्ध्वा नः सन्तु कोम्या वनान्यहानि विश्वा मरुतो जिगीषा ॥३॥ 3) Affirmed let the Maruts be benign to us, affirmed the lord of plenitude has become wholly creative of felicity.

... Page 385 [8] [RV I.86.1-3] I.86. The eighty fifth & eighty sixth hymns of the first Mandala, hymns of the Rishi Gotama to the Maruts, are of especial importance, because they fix the subjective character & functions of the Maruts with a greater clearness than most of the suktas addressed to these deities; for in these others the material symbol is so prominent as to veil for modern... it must, therefore, be connected with vimahasah. The Maruts are the diffused energies (vi-mahas) of Div, the mental world; they are the rays of the ideal knowledge-force, the Vijnana, pouring itself out in mind and diffusing itself in action of mental knowledge. The expression divo vimahasah gives the justification of sugopátamo; because the Maruts are these diffused energies of the Truth, Right, Wideness... Wideness above, therefore their protection is perfectly effective for the Sacrificer. “O Maruts, verily, in whosoever’s dwellings ye protect, the spreading energies of Heaven, he is the most safely guarded of men.” Yajnair vá yajnaváhaso viprasya vá matìnám, Marutah srinutá havam. The Maruts bear the action of the sacrifice, says Gotama, yajnair. We have here the fundamental sense ...
... transform that mental faculty and make it naturally participate in the Ultimate. In verse 2 Agastya appeals: "Why dost thou seek to smite us, O Indra? The Maruts are thy brothers. By them accomplish perfection; slay us not in our struggle." The Maruts are thought-energies assisting Indra but Agastya seems to have called and enlisted them to his help without submitting himself to Indra for a passage beyond... effort effective to experience the Immortal Reality. Verse 5 finds Agastya submissive, praying: "Do thou, O Indra, agree with the Maruts, then enjoy the offerings in the ordered method of the Truth." In the next hymn, 1,171, verses 1 and 2 tell us that now it is the Maruts who obstruct Agastya. They have left him because the sacrifice he had prepared for them was taken up by the mighty angry Indra... offerings prepared for them. To Indra also his prayer goes. In verses 5 and 6 he implores the potent Lord to let the Maruts' energies be part of his own Force and to grant Agastya a continuity of spiritual Light. By Indra's wrath being appeased and by the "right perceptions" of the Maruts upheld in that god's own forcefulness, may there be "the strong impulsion that shall break swiftly through". 391 ...
... the law of thy working the Maruts with their shining spears were born, seers who do the work by the knowledge." Clearly, then, in the conception of Agni Angiras there are two ideas, knowledge and action; the Page 165 luminous Agni and the luminous Maruts are by their light seers of the knowledge, ṛṣi, kavi ; and by the light of knowledge the forceful Maruts do the work because they are... which he sees by the "eye of the sun", the divine Mind master of all the illuminations of knowledge. Indra in becoming the Angiras, becomes Marutwan, possessed of or companioned by the Maruts, and these Maruts, luminous and violent gods of the storm and the lightning, uniting in themselves the vehement power of Vayu, the Wind, the Breath, the Lord of Life and the force of Agni, the Seer-Will, are... the earth, they are thy horses galloping in all directions. Then thy roaming shines widely vast directing their journey to the higher level of the Various-coloured (the cow, Prishni, mother of the Maruts). Then doubly (in earth and heaven?) thy tongue leaps forward like the lightning loosed of the Bull that wars for the cows." Sayana tries to avoid the obvious identification of the Rishis with the ...
... The theme of this sukta is to awaken the power of Indra with the help of his followers, the Maruts. Who are the Maruts? We find in the Puranas that Vayu (the Wind-God) in the womb of Diti (the consciousness of duality) had been divided into forty-nine parts by the Lord Indra. As a result, the Maruts, sub-divisions or various forms of Wind, came into existence. We also know that Vayu is the l... infinite consciousness. When the wave of life-energy rises into the mind and expresses itself as multiple thoughts, it turns into Maruts. In the Rigveda the God Marut has always been invoked and worshipped along with Indra. That is to say, without Indra, the mental being, the Maruts, the mental faculties, have no separate existence. 1. The seat of pure mind is a chariot. The chariot signifies movement... once free and vast. Division and littleness are not to be found there. It is fully illumined by the light of knowledge. The purified mind is replete with thought-powers, in other words, the Maruts. And it is the Maruts who help the mind in its march towards the Goal. 2. Spiritual progress takes place by the conjoint force of two powers. They are nothing but the twin horses that carry farther the power ...

(11) They, the Maruts, who have made firm the two firmaments, them I call to the drinking of this Soma wine. (12) Yea, that Marut host who are... of Page 315 the Maruts, lords of fullness, who seeks the inspired knowledge; she is under the yoke and a bearer of the chariots. (2) This is she in whose lap the gods have established the laws of their activity and the sun and moon also for vision. (3) Therefore do all of us who aspire and do the works of sacrifice declare ever in themselves the Maruts for the drinking of the Soma... Soma wine. (4) This is the Soma that has been distilled; of this the Maruts drink and they who are the self-ruling lords and the two Aswins.

(6) According to his acceptance, verily, of this Soma rich in ...
... no longer helps but resists him; there is a divorce between his mental energies presided over by the Maruts & their great presiding and fulfilling devata; confusion, failure of thought, error, backsliding is the result. “Why wouldst thou slay me,” he cries, “I am but moving towards my goal; the Maruts are thy brothers, why art thou in disagreement Page 21 with them? Rather with them as thy... approached, it disappears.” To this allocution which might have come straight out of the deepest passages of the Upanishads Agastya replies by a complaint, “Why, O Indra, wouldst thou slay us; the Maruts are thy brothers,—with them do thou work for our perfection; smite us not in our struggle.” Indra defends himself, justifies the blows he has struck: “Wherefore, O my brother Agastya, dost thou, though... extend thy sacrifice.” Agastya yields & consents: “Thou art the master, O lord of substance among the Vasus, thou utterly disposest, O lord of love among theMitras. Indra, do thou hold talk with the Maruts, taste in the truth the offerings.” It seems to me that the sense of this little hymn, so beautiful, simple & profound in its expression & substance, is perfectly straightforward, perfectly lucid & ...
... seeking and tapasya right up to the end. In answer to the aspiration kindled by agni, Indra arrives with his shining hosts, the Maruts, and it is by the aid of Indra and the Maruts that the initial conversion is effected. In the psychological sense of the Vedic symbol, the Maruts take our animal consciousness consisting of the impulses of the nervous mentality and drives them up with their illuminations... you entirely, to you with Indra companioned by the Maruts and with the Kings, the sons of Aditi". To understand this statement it may be said that among the conditions of immortality, the following are repeatedly mentioned in Rig Veda: The attainment of the Divine mind represented by Indra, attainment of shining Thought-forces, represented by Maruts, attainment of purity resulting in the flow of Soma... that stage that the thoughts and the mind are yoked to Surya-Savitri. The ordinary human mind is besieged by the wild impulses or animal troops, paśus; mind evolves when these impulses are aided by Maruts, shining forces that belong to the power of Indra, the cosmic being who represents the Illumined Mind. As one rises and as the truths of Indra convert our animal consciousness, our impulses become ...
... Brihaspati conquered the treasures ( vasūni ), great pens this god won full of the kine." The Maruts also, singers of the Rik like Brihaspati, are associated, though less directly in this divine action. "He whom ye foster, O Maruts, shall break open the pen" (VI.66.8), and elsewhere we hear of the cows of the Maruts (I.38.2).

... whom alone the Vedic Rishis have any real fear. Agni, the Kumara, prototype of the Puranic Skanda, is on earth the child of this force of Rudra.

But this... of formidable violence,—"like a terrible lion ranging in evil and difficult places",—which is spoken of in terms more ordinarily appropriate to Rudra.
