Sanskrit Original
मरुतस्ते तु विख्याता गतास्ते सप्तसप्तकाः। पृथिव्यां प्रथमस्कन्धो द्वितीयश्चापि भास्करे।।
marutaste tu vikhyātā gatāste saptasaptakāḥ| pṛthivyāṃ prathamaskandho dvitīyaścāpi bhāskare||
Brahmā said: They will be well known as Maruts. They will be seven groups of seven each (7 x 7 = 49). The first Skandha should be known as being present on the earth, the second in the sun, the third should be known in the moon, the fourth in the group of luminaries, the fifth in the planets and the sixth in the zone of seven sages (the Great Bear), the seventh in Dhruva (Pole star). Let my sons traverse these seven Vātaskandhas on different occasions.
