RV 9.73.3
पवित्रवन्तः परि वाचम् आसते पितैषाम् प्रत्नो अभि रक्षति व्रतम् । महः समुद्रं वरुणस् तिरो दधे धीरा इच् छेकुर् धरुणेष्व् आरभम् ॥
pavitravantaḥ pari vācam āsate pitaiṣām pratno abhi rakṣati vratam | mahaḥ samudraṃ varuṇas tiro dadhe dhīrā ic chekur dharuṇeṣv ārabham ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
With sanctifying gear they sit around the song: their ancient Father guards their holy work from harm. Varuna hath o'erspread the mighty sea of air. Sages had power to hold him in sustaining floods.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
