5,65 Mitra-Varuṇa 
5.LXV Mitra-Varuṇa 
yáś cikéta sá sukrátur devatrā́ sá bravītu naḥ |
váruṇo yásya darśató mitró vā vánate gíraḥ || 
1 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. 
tā́ hí śráyiṣṭhavarcasā+ rā́jānā dīrghaśrúttamā |
tā́ sátpatī r̥tāvŕ̥dha r̥tā́vānā jáne-jane || 
2 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. 
tā́ vām iyānó ávase pū́rvā úpa bruve sácā |
suáśvāsaḥ sú cetúnā vā́jām̐ abhí prá dāváne || 
3 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. 
mitró aṃhóś cid ā́d urú kṣáyāya gātúṃ vanate |
mitrásya hí pratū́rvataḥ sumatír ásti vidhatáḥ || 
4 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. ' 
vayám mitrásya ávasi siyā́ma sapráthastame |
anehásas tuvótayaḥ satrā́ váruṇaśeṣasaḥ || 
5 In Mitra's shelter that extends to utmost distance may we dwell, Unmenaced, guarded by the care, ever as sons of Varuṇa. 
yuvám mitrā imáṃ jánaṃ yátathaḥ sáṃ ca nayathaḥ |
mā́ maghónaḥ pári khyatam mó asmā́kam ŕ̥ṣīṇãṃ gopīthé na uruṣyatam || 
6 Ye, Mitra, urge this people on, and to one end direct their ways. Neglect not ye the wealthy chiefs, neglect not us the Ṛṣis: be our guardians when ye quaff the milk.
