को वस् त्राता वसवः को वरूता द्यावाभूमी अदिते त्रासीथां नः । सहीयसो वरुण मित्र मर्तात् को वो ऽध्वरे वरिवो धाति देवाः ॥
ko vas trātā vasavaḥ ko varūtā dyāvābhūmī adite trāsīthāṃ naḥ | sahīyaso varuṇa mitra martāt ko vo 'dhvare varivo dhāti devāḥ ||
Who of you, Vasus, saveth? who protecteth? O Heaven and Earth and Aditi, preserve us, Varuna., Mitra, from the stronger mortal. Gods, which of you at sacrifice giveth comfort?
प्र ये धामानि पूर्व्याण्य् अर्चान् वि यद् उच्छान् वियोतारो अमूराः । विधातारो वि ते दधुर् अजस्रा ऋतधीतयो रुरुचन्त दस्माः ॥
pra ye dhāmāni pūrvyāṇy arcān vi yad ucchān viyotāro amūrāḥ | vidhātāro vi te dadhur ajasrā ṛtadhītayo rurucanta dasmāḥ ||
They who with laud extol the ancient statutes, when they shine forth infallible dividers, Have ordered as perpetual Ordainers, and beamed as holy-thoughted WonderWorkers.
pra pastyām aditiṃ sindhum arkaiḥ svastim īḷe sakhyāya devīm | ubhe yathā no ahanī nipāta uṣāsānaktā karatām adabdhe ||
The Housewife Goddess, Aditi, and Sindhu, the Goddess Svasti I implore for friendship: And may the unobstructed Night and Morning both, day and night, provide for our protection.
Aryaman, Varuna have disclosed the pathway, Agni as Lord of Strength the road to welfare. Lauded in manly mode may Indra-Visnu grant us their powerful defense and shelter.
आ पर्वतस्य मरुताम् अवांसि देवस्य त्रातुर् अव्रि भगस्य । पात् पतिर् जन्याद् अंहसो नो मित्रो मित्रियाद् उत न उरुष्येत् ॥
ā parvatasya marutām avāṃsi devasya trātur avri bhagasya | pāt patir janyād aṃhaso no mitro mitriyād uta na uruṣyet ||
I have besought the favourof the Maruts, of Parvata, of Bhaga God who rescues. From trouble caused by man the Lord preserve us; from woe sent by his friend let Mitra save us.
नू रोदसी अहिना बुध्न्येन स्तुवीत देवी अप्येभिर् इष्टैः । समुद्रं न संचरणे सनिष्यवो घर्मस्वरसो नद्यो अप व्रन् ॥
nū rodasī ahinā budhnyena stuvīta devī apyebhir iṣṭaiḥ | samudraṃ na saṃcaraṇe saniṣyavo gharmasvaraso nadyo apa vran ||
Agree, through these our watery oblations, Goddesses, Heaven and Earth, with Ahibudhnya. As if to win the sea, the Gharma-heaters have opened, as they come anear, the rivers.
devair no devy aditir ni pātu devas trātā trāyatām aprayucchan | nahi mitrasya varuṇasya dhāsim arhāmasi pramiyaṃ sānv agneḥ ||
May Goddess Aditi with Gods defend us, save us the saviour God with care unceasing. We dare not stint the sacred food of Mitra and Varuna upon the back of Agni.
