Impetuous, Thunderer, Strong, quelling the mighty, King, potent, Vrtra-slayer, Soma-drinker, May he come hither with his yoked Bay Horses; may Indra gladden him at the noon libation.
O Surya, when the Asura's descendant Svarbhanu, pierced thee through and through with darkness, All creatures looked like one who is bewildered, who knoweth not the place where he is standing.
What time thou smotest down Svarbhanu's magic that spread itself beneath the sky, O Indra, By his fourth sacred prayer Atri discovered Surya concealed in gloom that stayed his function.
मा माम् इमं तव सन्तम् अत्र इरस्या द्रुग्धो भियसा नि गारीत् । त्वम् मित्रो असि सत्यराधास् तौ मेहावतं वरुणश् च राजा ॥
mā mām imaṃ tava santam atra irasyā drugdho bhiyasā ni gārīt | tvam mitro asi satyarādhās tau mehāvataṃ varuṇaś ca rājā ||
Let not the oppressor with this dread, through anger swallow me up, for I am thine, O Atri. Mitra art thou, the sender of true blessings: thou and King Varuna be both my helpers.
grāvṇo brahmā yuyujānaḥ saparyan kīriṇā devān namasopaśikṣan | atriḥ sūryasya divi cakṣur ādhāt svarbhānor apa māyā aghukṣat ||
The Brahman Atri, as he set the press-stones, serving the Gods with praise and adoration, Established in the heaven the eye of Surya, and caused Svarbhanu's magic arts to vanish.
