Translation
Move forward, men, and win. May the resplendent one (the army-chief) give joy to you. Let your arms be fierce and mighty, so that you remain always indomitable. (1)

Marutaḥ, brave soldiers. Here the soldiers are asked to cover the opposing army with darkness. Use of some gases or smoke-screen appears to be indicated, which tallies with maruts, who have some connection with the elemental air or the wind.
