यश्चि॒केत॒ स सु॒क्रतु॑र्देव॒त्रा स ब्र॑वीतु नः वरु॑णो॒ यस्य॑ दर्श॒तो मि॒त्रो वा॒ वन॑ते॒ गिरः॑
"FULL wise is he who hath discerned: let him speak to us of the Gods,– The man whose praise-songs Varuṇa the beautiful, or Mitra, loves."
ता हि श्रेष्ठ॑वर्चसा॒ राजा॑ना दीर्घ॒श्रुत्त॑मा ता सत्प॑ती ऋता॒वृध॑ ऋ॒तावा॑ना॒ जने॑जने
"For they are Kings of noblest might, of glorious fame most widely spread; Lords of the brave, who strengthen Law, the Holy Ones with every race."
ता वा॑मिया॒नोऽव॑से॒ पूर्वा॒ उप॑ ब्रुवे॒ सचा॑ स्वश्वा॑सः॒ सु चे॒तुना॒ वाजाँ॑ अ॒भि प्र दा॒वने॑
"Approaching you with prayer for aid, together I address you first We who have good steeds call on you, Most Sage, to give us strength besides."
मि॒त्रो अं॒होश्चि॒दादु॒रु क्षया॑य गा॒तुं व॑नते मि॒त्रस्य॒ हि प्र॒तूर्व॑तः सुम॒तिरस्ति॑ विध॒तः
"E'en out of misery Mitra gives a way to dwelling at our case, For he who worships hath the grace of Mitra, fighter in the van. '"
व॒यं मि॒त्रस्याव॑सि॒ स्याम॑ स॒प्रथ॑स्तमे अ॒ने॒हस॒स्त्वोत॑यः स॒त्रा वरु॑णशेषसः
"In Mitra's shelter that extends to utmost distance may we dwell, Unmenaced, guarded by the care, ever as sons of Varuṇa."
यु॒वं मि॑त्रे॒मं जनं॒ यत॑थः॒ सं च॑ नयथः मा म॒घोनः॒ परि॑ ख्यतं॒ मो अ॒स्माक॒मृषी॑णां गोपी॒थे न॑ उरुष्यतम्
"Ye, Mitra, urge this people on, and to one end direct their ways. Neglect not ye the wealthy chiefs, neglect not us the R̥ishis: be our guardians when ye quaff the milk."
