Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·5·5.64
वरुणं वो रिशादसम् ऋचा मित्रं हवामहे । परि व्रजेव बाह्वोर् जगन्वांसा स्वर्णरम् ॥
varuṇaṃ vo riśādasam ṛcā mitraṃ havāmahe | pari vrajeva bāhvor jaganvāṃsā svarṇaram ||
You, foeman-slaying Varuna and Mitra, we invoke with song, Who, as with penfold of your arms, encompass round the realm of light.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
ता बाहवा सुचेतुना प्र यन्तम् अस्मा अर्चते । शेवं हि जार्यं वां विश्वासु क्षासु जोगुवे ॥
tā bāhavā sucetunā pra yantam asmā arcate | śevaṃ hi jāryaṃ vāṃ viśvāsu kṣāsu joguve ||
Stretch out your arms with favouring love unto this man who singeth hymns, For in all places is sung forth your ever gracious friendliness.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
यन् नूनम् अश्यां गतिम् मित्रस्य यायाम् पथा । अस्य प्रियस्य शर्मण्य् अहिंसानस्य सश्चिरे ॥
yan nūnam aśyāṃ gatim mitrasya yāyām pathā | asya priyasya śarmaṇy ahiṃsānasya saścire ||
That I may gain a refuge now, may my steps be on Mitra's path. Men go protected in the charge of this dear Friend who harms us not.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
युवाभ्याम् मित्रावरुणोपमं धेयाम् ऋचा । यद् ध क्षये मघोनां स्तोतॄणां च स्पूर्धसे ॥
yuvābhyām mitrāvaruṇopamaṃ dheyām ṛcā | yad dha kṣaye maghonāṃ stotṝṇāṃ ca spūrdhase ||
Mitra and Varuna, from you may I, by song, win noblest meed. That shall stir envy in the homes of wealthy chiefs and those who praise.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
आ नो मित्र सुदीतिभिर् वरुणश् च सधस्थ आ । स्वे क्षये मघोनां सखीनां च वृधसे ॥
ā no mitra sudītibhir varuṇaś ca sadhastha ā | sve kṣaye maghonāṃ sakhīnāṃ ca vṛdhase ||
With your fair splendours, Varuna and Mitra, to our gathering come, That in their homes the wealthy chiefs and they who are your friends may thrive.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
युवं नो येषु वरुण क्षत्रम् बृहच् च बिभृथः । उरु णो वाजसातये कृतं राये स्वस्तये ॥
yuvaṃ no yeṣu varuṇa kṣatram bṛhac ca bibhṛthaḥ | uru ṇo vājasātaye kṛtaṃ rāye svastaye ||
With those, moreover, among whom ye hold your high supremacy, Vouchsafe us room that we may win strength for prosperity and wealth.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
उच्छन्त्याम् मे यजता देवक्षत्रे रुशद्गवि । सुतं सोमं न हस्तिभिर् आ पड्भिर् धावतं नरा बिभ्रताव् अर्चनानसम् ॥
ucchantyām me yajatā devakṣatre ruśadgavi | sutaṃ somaṃ na hastibhir ā paḍbhir dhāvataṃ narā bibhratāv arcanānasam ||
When morning flushes, Holy Ones! in the Gods' realm where white Cows shine, Supporting Arcananas, speed, ye Heroes, with your active feet hither to my pressed Soma juice.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
