They sought him in funeral rites and joyous assemblies when men were gathered; give him wealth. He is the light of the blind mind—Maruts elder-born, may he become like Indra who rises up.
To him, a leader (to victory), his worshippers apply in contests of strength for protection and for wealth, as he grants them the light (of conquest) in the bewildering darkness (of battle); may Indra, associated with the Maruts, be our protection.
To him the Hero, on high days of prowess, heroes for help and booty shall betake them. He hath found light even in the blinding darkness. May Indra, girt by Maruts, be our succour.
