What happens in this chapter
Maruts, keep your arrow far away
Three gayatri verses of Agastya Maitravaruni to the Maruts, bountiful and bright as serpents' gleam. Wondrous be your coming and your help. Far from us be your arrow, far the stone you hurl. Spare the people of Trinaskanda, and raise us up to live.
आ॒रे सा व॑ः सुदानवो॒ मरु॑त ऋञ्ज॒ती शरु॑ः ।
आ॒रे अश्मा॒ यमस्य॑थ
āre sā vaḥ sudānavo maruta ṛñjatī śaruḥ |
āre aśmā yamasyatha
तृ॒ण॒स्क॒न्दस्य॒ नु विश॒ः परि॑ वृङ्क्त सुदानवः ।
ऊ॒र्ध्वान्न॑ः कर्त जी॒वसे॑
tṛṇaskandasya nu viśaḥ pari vṛṅkta sudānavaḥ |
ūrdhvānnaḥ karta jīvase
