The Rig Veda/Mandala 1/Hymn 172

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.
