RV 3.59.1

मित्रो जनान् यातयति ब्रुवाणो मित्रो दाधार पृथिवीम् उत द्याम् । मित्रः कृष्टीर् अनिमिषाभि चष्टे मित्राय हव्यं घृतवज् जुहोत ॥

mitro janān yātayati bruvāṇo mitro dādhāra pṛthivīm uta dyām | mitraḥ kṛṣṭīr animiṣābhi caṣṭe mitrāya havyaṃ ghṛtavaj juhota ||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

Mitra, when speaking, stirreth men to labour: Mitra sustaineth both the earth and heaven. Mitra beholdeth men with eyes that close not. To Mitra bring, with holy oil, oblation.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
