कस्य नूनं कतमस्यामृतानाम् मनामहे चारु देवस्य नाम । को नो मह्या अदितये पुनर् दात् पितरं च दृशेयम् मातरं च ॥
kasya nūnaṃ katamasyāmṛtānām manāmahe cāru devasya nāma | ko no mahyā aditaye punar dāt pitaraṃ ca dṛśeyam mātaraṃ ca ||
Who now is he, what God among Immortals, of whose auspicious name we may bethink us? Who shall to mighty Aditi restore us, that I may see my Father and my Mother?
अग्नेर् वयम् प्रथमस्यामृतानाम् मनामहे चारु देवस्य नाम । स नो मह्या अदितये पुनर् दात् पितरं च दृशेयम् मातरं च ॥
agner vayam prathamasyāmṛtānām manāmahe cāru devasya nāma | sa no mahyā aditaye punar dāt pitaraṃ ca dṛśeyam mātaraṃ ca ||
Agni the God the first among the Immortals,--of his auspicious name let us bethink us. He shall to mighty Aditi restore us, that I may see my Father and my Mother.
नहि ते क्षत्रं न सहो न मन्युं वयश् चनामी पतयन्त आपुः । नेमा आपो अनिमिषं चरन्तीर् न ये वातस्य प्रमिनन्त्य् अभ्वम् ॥
nahi te kṣatraṃ na saho na manyuṃ vayaś canāmī patayanta āpuḥ | nemā āpo animiṣaṃ carantīr na ye vātasya praminanty abhvam ||
Ne'er have those birds that fly through air attained to thy high dominion or thy might or spirit; Nor these the waters that flow on for ever, nor hills, abaters of the wind's wild fury.
Varuna, King, of hallowed might, sustaineth erect the Tree's stem in the baseless region. Its rays, whose root is high above, stream downward. Deep may they sink within us, and be hidden.
उरुं हि राजा वरुणश् चकार सूर्याय पन्थाम् अन्वेतवा उ । अपदे पादा प्रतिधातवे ऽकर् उतापवक्ता हृदयाविधश् चित् ॥
uruṃ hi rājā varuṇaś cakāra sūryāya panthām anvetavā u | apade pādā pratidhātave 'kar utāpavaktā hṛdayāvidhaś cit ||
King Varuna hath made a spacious pathway, a pathway for the Sun wherein to travel. Where no way was he made him set his footstep, and warned afar whate'er afflicts the spirit.
A hundred balms are thine, O King, a thousand; deep and wide-reaching also be thy favours. Far from us, far away drive thou Destruction. Put from us e'en the sin we have committed.
amī ya ṛkṣā nihitāsa uccā naktaṃ dadṛśre kuha cid diveyuḥ | adabdhāni varuṇasya vratāni vicākaśac candramā naktam eti ||
Whither by day depart the constellations that shine at night, set high in heaven above us? Varuna's holy laws remain unweakened, and through the night the Moon moves on in splendor
तत् त्वा यामि ब्रह्मणा वन्दमानस् तद् आ शास्ते यजमानो हविर्भिः । अहेळमानो वरुणेह बोध्य् उरुशंस मा न आयुः प्र मोषीः ॥
tat tvā yāmi brahmaṇā vandamānas tad ā śāste yajamāno havirbhiḥ | aheḷamāno varuṇeha bodhy uruśaṃsa mā na āyuḥ pra moṣīḥ ||
I ask this of thee with my prayer adoring; thy worshipper craves this with his oblation. Varuna, stay thou here and be not angry; steal not our life from us, O thou Wide-Ruler.
तद् इन् नक्तं तद् दिवा मह्यम् आहुस् तद् अयं केतो हृद आ वि चष्टे । शुनःशेपो यम् अह्वद् गृभीतः सो अस्मान् राजा वरुणो मुमोक्तु ॥
tad in naktaṃ tad divā mahyam āhus tad ayaṃ keto hṛda ā vi caṣṭe | śunaḥśepo yam ahvad gṛbhītaḥ so asmān rājā varuṇo mumoktu ||
Nightly and daily this one thing they tell me, this too the thought of mine own heart repeateth. May he to whom prayed fettered Sunahsepa, may he the Sovran Varuna release us.
śunaḥśepo hy ahvad gṛbhītas triṣv ādityaṃ drupadeṣu baddhaḥ | avainaṃ rājā varuṇaḥ sasṛjyād vidvāṃ adabdho vi mumoktu pāśān ||
Bound to three pillars captured Sunahsepa thus to the Aditya made his supplication. Him may the Sovran Varuna deliver, wise, ne'er deceived, loosen the bonds that bind him.
ava te heḷo varuṇa namobhir ava yajñebhir īmahe havirbhiḥ | kṣayann asmabhyam asura pracetā rājann enāṃsi śiśrathaḥ kṛtāni ||
With bending down, oblations, sacrifices, O Varuna, we deprecate thine anger: Wise Asura, thou King of wide dominion, loosen the bonds of sins by us committed.
ud uttamaṃ varuṇa pāśam asmad avādhamaṃ vi madhyamaṃ śrathāya | athā vayam āditya vrate tavānāgaso aditaye syāma ||
Loosen the bonds, O Varuna, that hold me, loosen the bonds above, between, and under. So in thy holy law may we made sinless belong to Aditi, O thou Aditya.
