Translation

Tr. Hosts of Maruts with Indra as the eldest, Gods in the giving of Pushan, you all hearken to my call.

Commentary

indrajyeșthāḥ they of whom Indra is the eldest; marudgaņāḥ companies of Maruts as hosts; pūşa rātayaḥ the god who nourishes is Pushan, they to whom Pushan is the giver; (when by the prowess of God Pushan the sacrificer is nourished, the host of Maruts become manifest, hence he is called the giver, rātih); viśve even all; devāsaḥ O gods; mama havam my call; śruta hearken. (Vedic lengthening in the Samhita text. Imperative second person plural. Suffix a. Rest is Vedic.)
