Maruts
Śyāvāśva Ātreya
8 verses: jagatī, except triṣṭubh 7–8
Like the immediately preceding hymn, this one introduces other personnel besides the Maruts, though not ones tied specifically to the sacrifice. The hymn begins by

addressing the Maruts by their father’s name, “o Rudras,” a vocative that returns in verse 7. Their mother Pr̥śni also figures in the hymn, in verses 2 and 3. The first verse also describes them as “accompanied by Indra” (índravantaḥ). It is notable how rarely Indra is mentioned in hymns dedicated to the Maruts, even though they are his sidekicks and supporters from an Indraic point of view. In the whole Marut cycle in Maṇḍala V this is the only appearance of Indra, and it is tellingly phrased: Indra is himself treated as a sidekick, demoted into a possessive adjec
tive: “possessing/accompanied by Indra.” It is ordinarily the Maruts who have this grammatically subordinated role: the adjective marútvant (“possessing/accompa nied by the Maruts”) is very common and regularly modifies Indra.
In this hymn, then, the Maruts are defined first by their parentage and their companion. The other elements that define them are their attributes, both physi cal and mental, lists of which are given in verses 2, 4, 5, and 6, constituting a virtual iconography of the Maruts in verbal form. This listing modulates imper ceptibly into the beginning of verse 7, a list of goods possessed by the Maruts that they have give to the singers, a subtle way of moving to the requests of the final verses (7–8).
The vivid description characteristic of Marut hymns is not absent here. See espe cially verses 2–3, with the Maruts as the storm.

Jamison Brereton Notes

Maruts As Oldenberg (Proleg. 204-5) points out these two hymns are parallel and share a final vs. He attributes their position at the beginning of the four 8-vs. Marut hymns to this twinning. Otherwise V.58, in Triṣṭubh, should follow V.59, in Jagatī.
