manve vāṃ mitrāvaruṇāv ṛtāvṛdhau sacetasau druhvaṇo yau nudethe | pra satyāvānam avatho bhareṣu tau no muñcatam aṃhasaḥ ||1||
I reverence you, O Mitra-and-Varuṇa, increasers of right; who, accordant, thrust [away] the malicious (drúhvan); [who] favor the truthful one in conflicts (bhára): do ye free us from distress.
sacetasau druhvaṇo yau nudethe pra satyāvānam avatho bhareṣu | yau gachatho nṛcakṣasau babhruṇā sutaṃ tau no muñcatam aṃhasaḥ ||2||
Ye who, accordant, thrust [away] the malicious; [who] favor the truthful one in conflicts; who, men-watching, go unto the brown soma—do ye free us from distress.
yayo rathaḥ satyavartma rjuraśmir mithuyā carantam abhiyāti dūṣayan | staumi mitrāvaruṇau nāthito johavīmi tau no muñcatam aṃhasaḥ ||7||
Whose chariot, of true track, of straight reins, goes spoiling against him who behaves (car) falsely—I praise Mitra-and-Varuṇa; [as] a suppliant I call loudly on [them]: do ye free us from distress.
