अस्मे इन्द्रो वरुणो मित्रो अर्यमा द्युम्नं यच्छन्तु महि शर्म सप्रथः । अवध्रं ज्योतिरदितेरृतावृधो देवस्य श्लोकं सवितुर्मनामहे
May Indra, Varuṇa, Mitra, and Aryaman grant us glory, great and wide protection; may we honor the undeceiving light of Aditi, the upholder of truth, and the praise of the god Savitar.
युवां नरा पश्यमानास आप्यं प्राचा गव्यन्तः पृथुपर्शवो ययुः । दासा च वृत्रा हतमार्याणि च सुदासमिन्द्रावरुणावसावतम्
You two, O men, seeing the ancient friendship, went forth to the east, seeking cattle, with broad armies; O Indra and Varuṇa, you aided Sudās with your help against the Dāsas and the Vṛtras, and the Aryas as well.
यत्रा नरः समयन्ते कृतध्वजो यस्मिन्नाजा भवति किं चन प्रियम् । यत्रा भयन्ते भुवना स्वर्दृशस्तत्रा न इन्द्रावरुणाधि वोचतम्
Where men gather, with banners raised, where nothing is dear in battle, where the shining ones are afraid, there, O Indra and Varuṇa, speak on our behalf.
सं भूम्या अन्ता ध्वसिरा अदृक्षतेन्द्रावरुणा दिवि घोष आरुहत् । अस्थुर्जनानामुप मामरातयोऽर्वागवसा हवनश्रुता गतम्
The ends of the earth, covered in darkness, you have seen, O Indra and Varuṇa; your sound has risen to the sky; let not our enemies stand firm, come near with your help, you who hear our call.
इन्द्रावरुणा वधनाभिरप्रति भेदं वन्वन्ता प्र सुदासमावतम् । ब्रह्माण्येषां शृणुतं हवीमनि सत्या तृत्सूनामभवत्पुरोहितिः
O Indra and Varuṇa, with your invincible weapons, breaking through, you protected Sudās; listen to the prayers of these priests, for true was the priesthood of the Tṛtsus.
इन्द्रावरुणावभ्या तपन्ति माघान्यर्यो वनुषामरातयः । युवं हि वस्व उभयस्य राजथोऽध स्मा नोऽवतं पार्ये दिवि
O Indra and Varuṇa, the hostile ones, the enemies, oppress the noble with their might; for you are the rulers of both kinds of wealth, so protect us in the highest heaven.
युवां हवन्त उभयास आजिष्विन्द्रं च वस्वो वरुणं च सातये । यत्र राजभिर्दशभिर्निबाधितं प्र सुदासमावतं तृत्सुभिः सह
Both of you are invoked in the battles, Indra and Varuṇa, for aid; where Sudās, surrounded by ten kings, you protected together with the Tṛtsus.
दश राजानः समिता अयज्यवः सुदासमिन्द्रावरुणा न युयुधुः । सत्या नृणामद्मसदामुपस्तुतिर्देवा एषामभवन्देवहूतिषु
Ten kings, assembled and not sacrificing, could not defeat Sudās, O Indra and Varuṇa; the true praise of men became their offering to the gods in their invocations.
दाशराज्ञे परियत्ताय विश्वतः सुदास इन्द्रावरुणावशिक्षतम् । श्वित्यञ्चो यत्र नमसा कपर्दिनो धिया धीवन्तो असपन्त तृत्सवः
For the son of Daśa, beset from all sides, you, Indra and Varuṇa, gave strength to Sudās; where the Tṛtsus, wise and devoted, with white-crested helmets, triumphed through reverence and thought.
वृत्राण्यन्यः समिथेषु जिघ्नते व्रतान्यन्यो अभि रक्षते सदा । हवामहे वां वृषणा सुवृक्तिभिरस्मे इन्द्रावरुणा शर्म यच्छतम्
One of you slays adversaries in the battles, the other always upholds the vows; we call upon you, mighty ones, with splendid praises, Indra and Varuṇa, grant us your protection.
अस्मे इन्द्रो वरुणो मित्रो अर्यमा द्युम्नं यच्छन्तु महि शर्म सप्रथः । अवध्रं ज्योतिरदितेरृतावृधो देवस्य श्लोकं सवितुर्मनामहे
May Indra, Varuṇa, Mitra, and Aryaman grant us great glory and vast protection; may the unobstructed light of Aditi, the upholder of truth, may we praise the divine radiance of Savitar.
आ वां राजानावध्वरे ववृत्यां हव्येभिरिन्द्रावरुणा नमोभिः । प्र वां घृताची बाह्वोर्दधाना परि त्मना विषुरूपा जिगाति
May I turn to you, O kings, at the sacrifice, with offerings, Indra and Varuṇa, with reverence; the stream of clarified butter, placed upon your arms, flows around, assuming many forms.
युवो राष्ट्रं बृहदिन्वति द्यौर्यौ सेतृभिररज्जुभिः सिनीथः । परि नो हेळो वरुणस्य वृज्या उरुं न इन्द्रः कृणवदु लोकम्
Your dominion is vast, shining, and enduring, like the sky, established with guides and paths; may Varuṇa's reproach pass us by, and may Indra make our world spacious.
कृतं नो यज्ञं विदथेषु चारुं कृतं ब्रह्माणि सूरिषु प्रशस्ता । उपो रयिर्देवजूतो न एतु प्र ण स्पार्हाभिरूतिभिस्तिरेतम्
May our sacrifice be accomplished, beautiful in the assemblies; may our hymns be well-praised among the noble; may wealth, accompanied by the gods, come to us, may we cross over with splendid aids.
अस्मे इन्द्रावरुणा विश्ववारं रयिं धत्तं वसुमन्तं पुरुक्षुम् । प्र य आदित्यो अनृता मिनात्यमिता शूरो दयते वसूनि
O Indra and Varuṇa, grant us all-encompassing wealth, rich in goods and abundant; the Āditya, heroic and boundless, dispels falsehood and bestows treasures.
इयमिन्द्रं वरुणमष्ट मे गीः प्रावत्तोके तनये तूतुजाना । सुरत्नासो देववीतिं गमेम यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः
This hymn, eightfold, I have uttered for Indra and Varuṇa, seeking prosperity for offspring and descendants; may we, adorned with noble gifts, reach divine worship; may you always protect us with blessings.
पुनीषे वामरक्षसं मनीषां सोममिन्द्राय वरुणाय जुह्वत् । घृतप्रतीकामुषसं न देवीं ता नो यामन्नुरुष्यतामभीके
I purify my wise thought, offering Soma to Indra and Varuṇa; like the goddess Dawn, with clarified butter as her adornment, may she come to us, bringing wide protection.
स्पर्धन्ते वा उ देवहूये अत्र येषु ध्वजेषु दिद्यवः पतन्ति । युवं ताँ इन्द्रावरुणावमित्रान्हतं पराचः शर्वा विषूचः
They contend here, those who are invoked by the gods, where the banners shine and fall; you, Indra and Varuṇa, strike down the enemies, drive them away, scatter them in all directions.
आपश्चिद्धि स्वयशसः सदस्सु देवीरिन्द्रं वरुणं देवता धुः । कृष्टीरन्यो धारयति प्रविक्ता वृत्राण्यन्यो अप्रतीनि हन्ति
Even the waters, possessing their own glory, in their abodes, worship Indra and Varuṇa as deities; one upholds the peoples, the distinguished, the other slays adversaries, unconquered.
स सुक्रतुरृतचिदस्तु होता य आदित्य शवसा वां नमस्वान् । आववर्तदवसे वां हविष्मानसदित्स सुविताय प्रयस्वान्
May he be the wise, truth-knowing priest, O Āditya, who, with strength and reverence, has turned to you; he has come for your help, bearing offerings, sitting for prosperity, eager for favor.
इयमिन्द्रं वरुणमष्ट मे गीः प्रावत्तोके तनये तूतुजाना । सुरत्नासो देववीतिं गमेम यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः
This hymn, eightfold, I have uttered for Indra and Varuṇa, seeking prosperity for offspring and descendants; may we, adorned with noble gifts, reach divine worship; may you always protect us with blessings.
धीरा त्वस्य महिना जनूंषि वि यस्तस्तम्भ रोदसी चिदुर्वी । प्र नाकमृष्वं नुनुदे बृहन्तं द्विता नक्षत्रं पप्रथच्च भूम
By his greatness, the wise one has spread out the generations; he has propped up even the vast heavens and earth; he has pushed up the lofty firmament, and extended the stars across the expanse.
उत स्वया तन्वा सं वदे तत्कदा न्वन्तर्वरुणे भुवानि । किं मे हव्यमहृणानो जुषेत कदा मृळीकं सुमना अभि ख्यम्
With his own form, he speaks together; when, indeed, shall I dwell within Varuṇa? What offering of mine will he accept, when will the merciful, kind-hearted one look upon me?
पृच्छे तदेनो वरुण दिदृक्षूपो एमि चिकितुषो विपृच्छम् । समानमिन्मे कवयश्चिदाहुरयं ह तुभ्यं वरुणो हृणीते
I ask this, O Varuṇa, desiring to see; I come near, eager to inquire; even the wise say the same: this Varuṇa indeed takes to himself the sin.
किमाग आस वरुण ज्येष्ठं यत्स्तोतारं जिघांससि सखायम् । प्र तन्मे वोचो दूळभ स्वधावोऽव त्वानेना नमसा तुर इयाम्
O Varuṇa, what was that ancient offense for which you wish to harm your worshipper, your friend? Tell me, O easy-to-invoke Lord, what it is. With this reverence, I come swiftly to you.
अव द्रुग्धानि पित्र्या सृजा नोऽव या वयं चकृमा तनूभिः । अव राजन्पशुतृपं न तायुं सृजा वत्सं न दाम्नो वसिष्ठम्
Release us from ancestral transgressions, release us from those we ourselves have committed with our bodies. O King, set free Vasiṣṭha, like a calf from its tether, like a beast from the snare, from the guilt that clings to him.
न स स्वो दक्षो वरुण ध्रुतिः सा सुरा मन्युर्विभीदको अचित्तिः । अस्ति ज्यायान्कनीयस उपारे स्वप्नश्चनेदनृतस्य प्रयोता
No one’s own skill, Varuṇa, nor steadfastness, nor heroic wrath, nor cleverness, is enough. There is a greater and a lesser in proximity; even sleep and the impulse to falsehood arise.
अरं दासो न मीळ्हुषे कराण्यहं देवाय भूर्णयेऽनागाः । अचेतयदचितो देवो अर्यो गृत्सं राये कवितरो जुनाति
Like a servant for his generous master, I perform blameless deeds for the god, eager for abundance. The wise god, though unrecognized, inspires the thoughtful; the noble one bestows wealth on the singer.
अयं सु तुभ्यं वरुण स्वधावो हृदि स्तोम उपश्रितश्चिदस्तु । शं नः क्षेमे शमु योगे नो अस्तु यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः
This praise, O Varuṇa, full of devotion, is directed to you and rests in my heart. May there be well-being for us at home, well-being in our striving; may you always protect us with blessings.
रदत्पथो वरुणः सूर्याय प्रार्णांसि समुद्रिया नदीनाम् । सर्गो न सृष्टो अर्वतीरृतायञ्चकार महीरवनीरहभ्यः
Varuṇa has cleared the paths for Sūrya; the waters of the rivers, oceanic in their flow, move forward. Like a released flood, he has set the swift ones in motion, making the great rivers run for the sake of truth.
