Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 1.90

ऋजुनीती नो वरुणो मित्रो नयतु विद्वान् । अर्यमा देवैः सजोषाः ॥

ṛjunītī no varuṇo mitro nayatu vidvān | aryamā devaiḥ sajoṣāḥ ||

May Varuna with guidance straight, and Mitra lead us, he who knows, And Aryaman in accord with Gods.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

ते हि वस्वो वसवानास् ते अप्रमूरा महोभिः । व्रता रक्षन्ते विश्वाहा ॥

te hi vasvo vasavānās te apramūrā mahobhiḥ | vratā rakṣante viśvāhā ||

For they are dealers forth of wealth, and, not deluded, with their might Guard evermore the holy laws.

ते अस्मभ्यं शर्म यंसन्न् अमृता मर्त्येभ्यः । बाधमाना अप द्विषः ॥

te asmabhyaṃ śarma yaṃsann amṛtā martyebhyaḥ | bādhamānā apa dviṣaḥ ||

Shelter may they vouchsafe to us, Immortal Gods to mortal men, Chasing our enemies away.

वि नः पथः सुविताय चियन्त्व् इन्द्रो मरुतः । पूषा भगो वन्द्यासः ॥

vi naḥ pathaḥ suvitāya ciyantv indro marutaḥ | pūṣā bhago vandyāsaḥ ||

May they mark out our paths to bliss, Indra, the Maruts, Pusan, and Bhaga, the Gods to be adored.

उत नो धियो गोअग्राः पूषन् विष्णव् एवयावः । कर्ता नः स्वस्तिमतः ॥

uta no dhiyo goagrāḥ pūṣan viṣṇav evayāvaḥ | kartā naḥ svastimataḥ ||

Yea, Pusan, Visnu, ye who run your course, enrich our hymns with kine; Bless us with all prosperity.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

मधु वाता ऋतायते मधु क्षरन्ति सिन्धवः । माध्वीर् नः सन्त्व् ओषधीः ॥

madhu vātā ṛtāyate madhu kṣaranti sindhavaḥ | mādhvīr naḥ santv oṣadhīḥ ||

The winds waft sweets, the rivers pour sweets for the man who keeps the Law So may the plants be sweet for us.

मधु नक्तम् उतोषसो मधुमत् पार्थिवं रजः । मधु द्यौर् अस्तु नः पिता ॥

madhu naktam utoṣaso madhumat pārthivaṃ rajaḥ | madhu dyaur astu naḥ pitā ||

Sweet be the night and sweet the dawns, sweet the terrestrial atmosphere; Sweet be our Father Heaven to us.

मधुमान् नो वनस्पतिर् मधुमां अस्तु सूर्यः । माध्वीर् गावो भवन्तु नः ॥

madhumān no vanaspatir madhumāṃ astu sūryaḥ | mādhvīr gāvo bhavantu naḥ ||

May the tall tree be full of sweets for us, and full of sweets the Sun: May our milch-kine be sweet for us.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

शं नो मित्रः शं वरुणः शं नो भवत्व् अर्यमा । शं न इन्द्रो बृहस्पतिः शं नो विष्णुर् उरुक्रमः ॥

śaṃ no mitraḥ śaṃ varuṇaḥ śaṃ no bhavatv aryamā | śaṃ na indro bṛhaspatiḥ śaṃ no viṣṇur urukramaḥ ||

Be Mitra gracious unto us, and Varuna and Aryaman: Indra, Brhaspati be kind, and Visnu of the mighty stride.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
