sons of Pṛśni
in the texts
Rigveda
The mother of the Maruts, often associated with the speckled storm-cloud.
the sons of Pṛśni laid on themselves their glory.
The Maruts of dappled steeds, with Pṛśni as mother, going beautifully in the assemblies, those who come forth — with Agni as tongue, the Manus with the sun's eye — may all the gods come hither to us with protection.
Pṛśni bore for the great battle the blazing host of the impetuous Maruts.
Atharvaveda (Paippalāda)
Mother of the Maruts, named in her maternal epithet within the advocate-gods hymn.
may the Maruts, sons of Pṛśni, speak for us.
Who ever draw upon the inexhaustible spring, or who pour vital sap into the herbs — I set before me those Maruts, the sons of Pṛśni — may they release us from distress.
