Kapali Shastri

Translation

Tr. The Maruts who are radiant, awful in form mighty and devourers of the foes, with them come.

Commentary

ye Maruts; śubhrāḥ radiant, ghoravarpasaḥ terrifying in form (varpa name for form); sukșatrāsaḥ mighty; riśādasaḥ devourers of the injurious ; with those Maruts, etc.

Note that even though the Maruts are awful in form, etc. the adjective subhra (bright) is used to denote this action of happy fruition.

Thus ends the twenty sixth group in the first Chapter of the first Eighth.
