1.19.2No mortal man, no God exceeds thy mental power, O Mighty one: O Agni, with the Maruts come:

1.19.3All Gods devoid of guile, who know the mighty region of mid-air: O Agni, with those Maruts come.

1.19.4The terrible, who sing their song, not to be overcome by might: O Agni, with those Maruts come.

1.19.5Brilliant, and awful in their form, mighty, devourers of their foes': O Agni, with those Maruts come.

1.19.6Who sit as Deities in heaven, above the sky-vault's luminous sphere: O Agni, with those Maruts come.

1.19.7Who scatter clouds about the sky, away over the billowy sea: O Agni, with those Maruts come.

1.19.8Who with their bright beams spread them forth over the ocean in their might O Agni, with those Maruts come.

1.19.9For thee, to be thine early draught, I pour the Soma-mingled meath: O Agni, with the Maruts come.
