क्व त्यानि नौ सख्या बभूवुः सचावहे यदवृकं पुरा चित् । बृहन्तं मानं वरुण स्वधावः सहस्रद्वारं जगमा गृहं ते
Where now are those friendships of ours, with whom we once consorted, even in ancient times? O Varuṇa, mighty and self-sustaining, I have reached your house with a thousand doors.
य आपिर्नित्यो वरुण प्रियः सन्त्वामागांसि कृणवत्सखा ते । मा त एनस्वन्तो यक्षिन्भुजेम यन्धि ष्मा विप्र स्तुवते वरूथम्
He who is your constant, beloved friend, O Varuṇa, who commits offenses, let him be your companion. May we not, being sinful, suffer your wrath; grant protection to the singer who praises you.
ध्रुवासु त्वासु क्षितिषु क्षियन्तो व्यस्मत्पाशं वरुणो मुमोचत् । अवो वन्वाना अदितेरुपस्थाद्यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः
As we dwell upon these enduring abodes, may Varuṇa release us from his snare; may those who strive for favor approach the lap of Aditi; may you always guard us with well-being.
मो षु वरुण मृन्मयं गृहं राजन्नहं गमम् । मृळा सुक्षत्र मृळय
O Varuṇa, O King, let me not go to a house of clay; be gracious, O mighty ruler, show mercy.
यदेमि प्रस्फुरन्निव दृतिर्न ध्मातो अद्रिवः । मृळा सुक्षत्र मृळय
If I move as if trembling, like an unbaked vessel, O thunderer, be gracious, O mighty ruler, show mercy.
क्रत्वः समह दीनता प्रतीपं जगमा शुचे । मृळा सुक्षत्र मृळय
When my resolve falters and I go astray, O pure one, be gracious, O mighty ruler, show mercy.
अपां मध्ये तस्थिवांसं तृष्णाविदज्जरितारम् । मृळा सुक्षत्र मृळय
When I stand in the midst of waters, thirsting and aged, be gracious, O mighty ruler, show mercy.
यत्किं चेदं वरुण दैव्ये जनेऽभिद्रोहं मनुष्याश्चरामसि । अचित्ती यत्तव धर्मा युयोपिम मा नस्तस्मादेनसो देव रीरिषः
Whatever offense we humans commit against the divine order, O Varuṇa, whether knowingly or unknowingly, do not let that sin, O god, harm us.
प्र वीरया शुचयो दद्रिरे वामध्वर्युभिर्मधुमन्तः सुतासः । वह वायो नियुतो याह्यच्छा पिबा सुतस्यान्धसो मदाय
The pure, honeyed libations have been poured for you with vigor by the priests; come, Vāyu, with your teams, approach and drink the pressed Soma for exhilaration.
ईशानाय प्रहुतिं यस्त आनट् छुचिं सोमं शुचिपास्तुभ्यं वायो । कृणोषि तं मर्त्येषु प्रशस्तं जातोजातो जायते वाज्यस्य
To you, Vāyu, who rule, is offered the pure Soma by the one who brings the oblation; you make him renowned among mortals, and with each birth, the prize is born for the eager one.
राये नु यं जज्ञतू रोदसीमे राये देवी धिषणा धाति देवम् । अध वायुं नियुतः सश्चत स्वा उत श्वेतं वसुधितिं निरेके
For whom the two worlds were born for wealth, for whom the divine Dhiṣaṇā grants riches; then the teams accompany Vāyu, and the shining, wealth-bringing one is yoked.
उच्छन्नुषसः सुदिना अरिप्रा उरु ज्योतिर्विविदुर्दीध्यानाः । गव्यं चिदूर्वमुशिजो वि वव्रुस्तेषामनु प्रदिवः सस्रुरापः
The Dawns have risen, bringing fair days, revealing wide light as they shine; even the cows have spread out in the broad expanse, and the waters have flowed according to their course.
ते सत्येन मनसा दीध्यानाः स्वेन युक्तासः क्रतुना वहन्ति । इन्द्रवायू वीरवाहं रथं वामीशानयोरभि पृक्षः सचन्ते
They, shining with true intent, yoked by their own will, bear the chariot of Indra and Vāyu, full of heroes; the swift teams join together for the lords.
ईशानासो ये दधते स्वर्णो गोभिरश्वेभिर्वसुभिर्हिरण्यैः । इन्द्रवायू सूरयो विश्वमायुरर्वद्भिर्वीरैः पृतनासु सह्युः
Those lords who possess the sun, cattle, horses, riches, and gold; Indra and Vāyu, the mighty ones, conquer all life with their horses and heroes in battles.
अर्वन्तो न श्रवसो भिक्षमाणा इन्द्रवायू सुष्टुतिभिर्वसिष्ठाः । वाजयन्तः स्ववसे हुवेम यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः
Like swift horses seeking fame, O Indra and Vāyu, the Vasiṣṭhas praise you with fair hymns; granting strength, we call upon you for good fortune—may you always guard us with well-being.
कुविदङ्ग नमसा ये वृधासः पुरा देवा अनवद्यास आसन् । ते वायवे मनवे बाधितायावासयन्नुषसं सूर्येण
Who knows, those ancient gods, flawless and mighty, were worshipped with reverence; they made the Dawn rise for Vāyu and for Manu, who was oppressed, together with the Sun.
उशन्ता दूता न दभाय गोपा मासश्च पाथः शरदश्च पूर्वीः । इन्द्रवायू सुष्टुतिर्वामियाना मार्डीकमीट्टे सुवितं च नव्यम्
The shining messengers, undeceivable guardians, watched over the months and many seasons; O Indra and Vāyu, your praise is ever new, I seek your gracious favor and fresh prosperity.
पीवोअन्नाँ रयिवृधः सुमेधाः श्वेतः सिषक्ति नियुतामभिश्रीः । ते वायवे समनसो वि तस्थुर्विश्वेन्नरः स्वपत्यानि चक्रुः
Rich in food, wealth-increasing, wise, and shining, the glory of the teams is abundant; they, united in purpose for Vāyu, stood forth, all the men performed their lordly deeds.
यावत्तरस्तन्वो यावदोजो यावन्नरश्चक्षसा दीध्यानाः । शुचिं सोमं शुचिपा पातमस्मे इन्द्रवायू सदतं बर्हिरेदम्
As far as your bodies reach, as great as your strength, as far as your vision shines, O Indra and Vāyu, drink the pure Soma with delight; sit here on this sacred grass.
नियुवाना नियुत स्पार्हवीरा इन्द्रवायू सरथं यातमर्वाक् । इदं हि वां प्रभृतं मध्वो अग्रमध प्रीणाना वि मुमुक्तमस्मे
Yoking the splendid teams, O Indra and Vāyu, come together on one chariot; for this, your foremost portion of the sweet offering, let your favor be released to us.
या वां शतं नियुतो याः सहस्रमिन्द्रवायू विश्ववाराः सचन्ते । आभिर्यातं सुविदत्राभिरर्वाक्पातं नरा प्रतिभृतस्य मध्वः
The hundreds and thousands of your swift teams, O Indra and Vāyu, all-perfect, accompany you; with these come hither, possessing good wisdom, and drink, O heroes, of the mead brought forward.
अर्वन्तो न श्रवसो भिक्षमाणा इन्द्रवायू सुष्टुतिभिर्वसिष्ठाः । वाजयन्तः स्ववसे हुवेम यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः
Like eager seekers of fame, O Indra and Vāyu, the Vasiṣṭhas, with well-praised hymns, call upon you, striving for strength and your favor; may you always protect us with blessings.

Come, O Vāyu, delighting in the pure, to us; your thousands of teams, all-perfect, approach; here is the drink, intoxicating, which I have prepared for you, O god, the ancient draught you have accepted.
प्र सोता जीरो अध्वरेष्वस्थात्सोममिन्द्राय वायवे पिबध्यै । प्र यद्वां मध्वो अग्रियं भरन्त्यध्वर्यवो देवयन्तः शचीभिः
The swift-pouring one has taken his place at the sacrifices, to pour Soma for Indra and Vāyu to drink; when the priests, with devotion and skill, bring you the foremost draught of the mead.
प्र याभिर्यासि दाश्वांसमच्छा नियुद्भिर्वायविष्टये दुरोणे । नि नो रयिं सुभोजसं युवस्व नि वीरं गव्यमश्व्यं च राधः
With those teams by which you come to the worshipper, O Vāyu, desiring the offering in the house, grant us wealth with good portions, and bestow upon us heroic strength, cattle, and horses.
ये वायव इन्द्रमादनास आदेवासो नितोशनासो अर्यः । घ्नन्तो वृत्राणि सूरिभिः ष्याम सासह्वांसो युधा नृभिरमित्रान्
You, O Vāyu, and Indra, delighting in the Soma, are truly gods, eager for the offering, noble; slaying the foes with heroes, may we be victorious, conquering enemies in battle with men.
आ नो नियुद्भिः शतिनीभिरध्वरं सहस्रिणीभिरुप याहि यज्ञम् । वायो अस्मिन्सवने मादयस्व यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः
Come to our sacrifice with your hundreds and thousands of teams; O Vāyu, rejoice in this libation; may you always protect us with blessings.
शुचिं नु स्तोमं नवजातमद्येन्द्राग्नी वृत्रहणा जुषेथाम् । उभा हि वां सुहवा जोहवीमि ता वाजं सद्य उशते धेष्ठा
May you, Indra and Agni, slayers of Vṛtra, accept this pure, newly-born hymn; for I call upon you both, easy to invoke, that you may bestow strength swiftly upon the eager.
ता सानसी शवसाना हि भूतं साकंवृधा शवसा शूशुवांसा । क्षयन्तौ रायो यवसस्य भूरेः पृङ्क्तं वाजस्य स्थविरस्य घृष्वेः
For you are mighty, ever-growing together in power; abiding in the home of abundant food, grant us the ancient, glorious strength, rich in horses.
उपो ह यद्विदथं वाजिनो गुर्धीभिर्विप्राः प्रमतिमिच्छमानाः । अर्वन्तो न काष्ठां नक्षमाणा इन्द्राग्नी जोहुवतो नरस्ते
When the wise, desiring distinction, approach the assembly with hymns, like eager racers seeking the goal, O Indra and Agni, the men call upon you.
