तस्मा इद्विश्वे धुनयन्त सिन्धवोऽच्छिद्रा शर्म दधिरे पुरूणि । देवानां सुम्ने सुभगः स एधते यंयं युजं कृणुते ब्रह्मणस्पतिः
For him, indeed, all the rivers flow together; unbroken, they grant abundant shelter; blessed by the favor of the gods, he prospers, whatever team Brahmanaspati harnesses, he makes victorious.
ऋजुरिच्छंसो वनवद्वनुष्यतो देवयन्निददेवयन्तमभ्यसत् । सुप्रावीरिद्वनवत्पृत्सु दुष्टरं यज्वेदयज्योर्वि भजाति भोजनम्
Straight in praise, eager for the forest, subduing the unsubdued, O god, you approach the godless; generous, you divide the hard-to-win prize among the pious and the impious, distributing the offering.
यजस्व वीर प्र विहि मनायतो भद्रं मनः कृणुष्व वृत्रतूर्ये । हविष्कृणुष्व सुभगो यथाससि ब्रह्मणस्पतेरव आ वृणीमहे
Sacrifice, O hero, and lead forth your thought; make your mind auspicious in the slaying of Vritra; prepare the offering, O fortunate one, as you desire; we choose the favor of Brahmanaspati.
स इज्जनेन स विशा स जन्मना स पुत्रैर्वाजं भरते धना नृभिः । देवानां यः पितरमाविवासति श्रद्धामना हविषा ब्रह्मणस्पतिम्
He, through his people, his clan, his birth, with sons and with men, wins wealth and riches, who with faith and offering calls upon Brahmanaspati, the father of the gods.
यो अस्मै हव्यैर्घृतवद्भिरविधत्प्र तं प्राचा नयति ब्रह्मणस्पतिः । उरुष्यतीमंहसो रक्षती रिषोऽंहोश्चिदस्मा उरुचक्रिरद्भुतः
Whoever serves him with offerings rich in ghee, Brahmanaspati leads him forward on the right path; the wondrous one makes wide room, protects from harm, and even from sin delivers him.
इमा गिर आदित्येभ्यो घृतस्नूः सनाद्राजभ्यो जुह्वा जुहोमि । शृणोतु मित्रो अर्यमा भगो नस्तुविजातो वरुणो दक्षो अंशः
These hymns, rich in ghee, I offer with my tongue to the Ādityas, the ancient kings; may Mitra, Aryaman, Bhaga, Varuṇa, Dakṣa, and Aṃśa, born of truth, hear us.
इमं स्तोमं सक्रतवो मे अद्य मित्रो अर्यमा वरुणो जुषन्त । आदित्यासः शुचयो धारपूता अवृजिना अनवद्या अरिष्टाः
May Mitra, Aryaman, and Varuṇa, mighty ones, accept this praise of mine today; the Ādityas, pure, purified by streams, free from sin, blameless, and unharmed.
त आदित्यास उरवो गभीरा अदब्धासो दिप्सन्तो भूर्यक्षाः । अन्तः पश्यन्ति वृजिनोत साधु सर्वं राजभ्यः परमा चिदन्ति
Those Ādityas are vast and deep, unfailing, eager to bestow, seeing much; within, they behold both the wicked and the good, and even the highest matters are not hidden from the kings.
धारयन्त आदित्यासो जगत्स्था देवा विश्वस्य भुवनस्य गोपाः । दीर्घाधियो रक्षमाणा असुर्यमृतावानश्चयमाना ऋणानि
The Ādityas uphold the moving world, the gods, guardians of all creation; far-seeing, protecting their lordship, observing the order, measuring out the debts.
विद्यामादित्या अवसो वो अस्य यदर्यमन्भय आ चिन्मयोभु । युष्माकं मित्रावरुणा प्रणीतौ परि श्वभ्रेव दुरितानि वृज्याम्
May we know, O Ādityas, your aid, so that even in adversity Aryaman may be near; by your guidance, O Mitra and Varuṇa, may we avoid misfortunes as one avoids a pit.
सुगो हि वो अर्यमन्मित्र पन्था अनृक्षरो वरुण साधुरस्ति । तेनादित्या अधि वोचता नो यच्छता नो दुष्परिहन्तु शर्म
For your path, O Aryaman, Mitra, is easy and straight, O Varuṇa, it is good; by that, O Ādityas, speak to us, grant us shelter that is not to be overcome.
पिपर्तु नो अदिती राजपुत्राति द्वेषांस्यर्यमा सुगेभिः । बृहन्मित्रस्य वरुणस्य शर्मोप स्याम पुरुवीरा अरिष्टाः
May Aditi, mother of kings, protect us from hatred; may Aryaman with easy paths; under the wide shelter of Mitra and Varuṇa, may we be unharmed, rich in men.
तिस्रो भूमीर्धारयन्त्रीँरुत द्यून्त्रीणि व्रता विदथे अन्तरेषाम् । ऋतेनादित्या महि वो महित्वं तदर्यमन्वरुण मित्र चारु
Three earths they uphold, and also three heavens, three laws among their gatherings; by truth, O Ādityas, is your greatness great, that, O Aryaman, Varuṇa, Mitra, is lovely.
त्री रोचना दिव्या धारयन्त हिरण्ययाः शुचयो धारपूताः । अस्वप्नजो अनिमिषा अदब्धा उरुशंसा ऋजवे मर्त्याय
Three shining realms of heaven they uphold, golden, pure, purified by streams; sleepless, unwinking, unfailing, wide in praise, for the straight mortal.
त्वं विश्वेषां वरुणासि राजा ये च देवा असुर ये च मर्ताः । शतं नो रास्व शरदो विचक्षेऽश्यामायूंषि सुधितानि पूर्वा
You, Varuṇa, are king of all, both gods and mortals, O Asura; grant us a hundred autumns, O far-seeing one, may we enjoy long and well-ordered lives.
न दक्षिणा वि चिकिते न सव्या न प्राचीनमादित्या नोत पश्चा । पाक्या चिद्वसवो धीर्या चिद्युष्मानीतो अभयं ज्योतिरश्याम्
Neither right nor left, neither east nor west, O Ādityas, is hidden from you; even the secret, O Vasus, even the thought, under your guidance may we see the fearless light.
यो राजभ्य ऋतनिभ्यो ददाश यं वर्धयन्ति पुष्टयश्च नित्याः । स रेवान्याति प्रथमो रथेन वसुदावा विदथेषु प्रशस्तः
He who has given to the kings who uphold truth, whom constant prosperity nourishes and increases, he advances with wealth, foremost in his chariot, renowned in the assemblies.
शुचिरपः सूयवसा अदब्ध उप क्षेति वृद्धवयाः सुवीरः । नकिष्टं घ्नन्त्यन्तितो न दूराद्य आदित्यानां भवति प्रणीतौ
Pure, possessing abundant waters, unassailable, he dwells with increased strength, blessed with good sons; none strike him from near or far, and he comes under the guidance of the Ādityas.
अदिते मित्र वरुणोत मृळ यद्वो वयं चकृमा कच्चिदागः । उर्वश्यामभयं ज्योतिरिन्द्र मा नो दीर्घा अभि नशन्तमिस्राः
Aditi, Mitra, and Varuṇa, be gracious; if we have committed any offense against you, grant us wide, fearless light, Indra, and let not long-lasting misfortunes overwhelm us.
उभे अस्मै पीपयतः समीची दिवो वृष्टिं सुभगो नाम पुष्यन् । उभा क्षयावाजयन्याति पृत्सूभावर्धौ भवतः साधू अस्मै
Both, the heavens, pour forth together for him, bestowing rain; the fortunate one receives a noble name. Both, the dwellings, he conquers in battle; both, the increases, become favorable to him.
या वो माया अभिद्रुहे यजत्राः पाशा आदित्या रिपवे विचृत्ताः । अश्वीव ताँ अति येषं रथेनारिष्टा उरावा शर्मन्स्याम
Your wondrous powers, O worshipful Ādityas, the snares you have set for the enemy, let them be cut apart; as a horse escapes with its chariot, may we be unharmed and find wide shelter.
माहं मघोनो वरुण प्रियस्य भूरिदाव्न आ विदं शूनमापेः । मा रायो राजन्सुयमादव स्थां बृहद्वदेम विदथे सुवीराः
May I not, O generous Varuṇa, beloved and bountiful, encounter ruin or misfortune; may I not lose wealth, O king, through ill conduct; let us speak greatly in the assembly, strong and noble.
इदं कवेरादित्यस्य स्वराजो विश्वानि सान्त्यभ्यस्तु मह्ना । अति यो मन्द्रो यजथाय देवः सुकीर्तिं भिक्षे वरुणस्य भूरेः
This is the radiance of the wise Āditya, sovereign of the sun; by his greatness, he brings all things to rest. He, gentle and divine, is worshipped, and I seek the abundant fame of Varuṇa.
तव व्रते सुभगासः स्याम स्वाध्यो वरुण तुष्टुवांसः । उपायन उषसां गोमतीनामग्नयो न जरमाणा अनु द्यून्
May we be blessed under your rule, Varuṇa, delighting in your praise; like the fires that follow the rich dawns, may we approach day by day, never growing old.
तव स्याम पुरुवीरस्य शर्मन्नुरुशंसस्य वरुण प्रणेतः । यूयं नः पुत्रा अदितेरदब्धा अभि क्षमध्वं युज्याय देवाः
May we be in the protection of you, Varuṇa, leader of many heroes, of wide renown; you, sons of Aditi, flawless, may you grant us favor, O worthy gods.
प्र सीमादित्यो असृजद्विधर्ताँ ऋतं सिन्धवो वरुणस्य यन्ति । न श्राम्यन्ति न वि मुचन्त्येते वयो न पप्तू रघुया परिज्मन्
The Āditya, creator, has sent them forth; the rivers flow according to Varuṇa's order. They neither tire nor are released; like birds, they swiftly circle in their course.
वि मच्छ्रथाय रशनामिवाग ऋध्याम ते वरुण खामृतस्य । मा तन्तुश्छेदि वयतो धियं मे मा मात्रा शार्यपसः पुर ऋतोः
For my chariot, loosen the strap as one would, Varuṇa, to reach the realm of immortality; let not the thread of my life be cut, nor my wisdom, nor the measure of my righteous deeds.
अपो सु म्यक्ष वरुण भियसं मत्सम्राळृतावोऽनु मा गृभाय । दामेव वत्साद्वि मुमुग्ध्यंहो नहि त्वदारे निमिषश्चनेशे
O Varuṇa, let the waters be gentle for me; remove fear, O king, uphold me in righteousness. Release me from sin as a calf from its tether; for none but you can restrain or release.
मा नो वधैर्वरुण ये त इष्टावेनः कृण्वन्तमसुर भ्रीणन्ति । मा ज्योतिषः प्रवसथानि गन्म वि षू मृधः शिश्रथो जीवसे नः
Let not those who are hostile, Varuṇa, who seek to harm us, bring us to ruin; let us not stray from the paths of light, nor encounter conflict, but live long.
नमः पुरा ते वरुणोत नूनमुतापरं तुविजात ब्रवाम । त्वे हि कं पर्वते न श्रितान्यप्रच्युतानि दूळभ व्रतानि
We offer you homage, Varuṇa, as before and now, and also in the future, O mighty-born; for in you, as in a mountain, are steadfast, unshaken, difficult-to-break vows.
