xiii. 1-

3. Do ye [who are] formidable, O Maruts, sons of the spotted mother, with Indra as ally, slaughter our foes; the ruddy one shall listen to you, ye liberal ones (sudā́nu), ye thrice seven Maruts that enjoy sweets together.

4. The ruddy one ascended (ruh), mounted the ascents (rúh); [he,] the embryo of the wives, [mounted] the lap of births; him, taken hold of by them (f.), the six wide [spaces] discovered; seeing in advance the track, he hath brought (ā-hṛ) hither the kingdom.

5. The ruddy one hath brought hither thy kingdom; the scorners have scattered; fearlessness hath become thine; unto thee, being such, let heaven-and-earth, by the revátīs, yield (duh) here thy desire by the çákvarīs.
