1. WONDERFUL let your coming be, wondrous with help, ye Bounteous Ones,
     Maruts, who gleam as serpents gleam.
2. Far be from us, O Maruts, ye free givers, your impetuous shaft;
     Far from us be the stone ye hurl.
3. O Bounteous Givers, touch ye not, O Maruts, Trnskanda's folk;
     Lift ye us up that we may live.
