The Maruts shine with their own light! They are self-luminous, burning with an inner fire that no darkness can extinguish. Each Marut blazes like a star fallen from heaven, trailing light across the sky. They are beautiful in their terrible beauty, perfect in their pristine strength.

Their eyes see all that is hidden. Their ears hear all that is spoken and unspoken. Their minds grasp the mysteries that mortals cannot comprehend. They are wise as the ancient ones are wise, yet young and fierce and vital. They do not age. They do not weaken. They are eternal in their youthful vigor.

See the radiance that surrounds them! It is like the radiance of the sun, yet not the sun's radiance. It is an inner glow, a luminescence born of their own divine nature. This light reveals truth. This light dispels illusion. In the presence of the Maruts, all falseness is exposed and all truth is made manifest.

Yet this beauty is terrible! For in their luminescence burns a consuming fire. They burn away all that is impure, all that is false, all that is unworthy. Their light is the light of judgment and of truth. To stand in their presence is to stand naked before the ultimate reality of things.

O Maruts, ye self-luminous ones! Ye who shine without flame, who glow without burning, whose inner radiance exceeds the radiance of ten thousand suns! Let thy light penetrate the darkness of our ignorance. Burn away our impurity. Reveal to us the truth that lies hidden. Grant us to see as thou seest, to know as thou knowest. O terrible and beautiful ones, shine upon us and transform us!
