Bibliotheca Polyglotta

1 GRANT us your strong protection, Indra Varuṇa, our people, and our family, for sacrifice. May we subdue in fight our evil-hearted foes, him who attacks the man steadfast in lengthened rites.

samrā́ḷ anyáḥ svarā́ḷ anyá ucyate vām mahā́ntāv índrāváruṇā mahā́vasū |
víśve devā́saḥ paramé víomani sáṃ vām ójo vr̥ṣaṇā sám bálaṃ dadhuḥ ||

2 O Indra-Varuṇa, mighty and very rich One of you is called Monarch and One Autocrat. All Gods in the most lofty region of the air have, O ye Steers, combined all power and might in you.

ánu apā́ṃ khā́ni atr̥ntam ójasā ā́ sū́riyam airayataṃ diví prabhúm |
índrāvaruṇā máde asya māyíno ápinvatam apítaḥ pínvataṃ dhíyaḥ ||

3 Ye with your strength have pierced the fountains of the floods: the Sun have ye brought forward as the Lord in heaven. Cheered by this magic draught ye, Indra-Varuṇa, made the dry places stream, made songs of praise flow forth.

yuvā́m íd yutsú pŕ̥tanāsu váhnayo yuvā́ṃ kṣémasya prasavé mitájñavaḥ |
īśānā́ vásva ubháyasya kāráva índrāvaruṇā suhávā havāmahe ||

4 In battels and in frays we ministering priests, kneeling upon our knees for furtherance of our weal, Invoke you, only you, the Lords of twofold wealth, you prompt to hear, we bards, O Indra-Varuṇa.

índrāvaruṇā yád imā́ni cakráthur víśvā jātā́ni bhúvanasya majmánā |
kṣémeṇa mitró váruṇaṃ duvasyáti marúdbhir ugráḥ śúbham anyá īyate ||

5 O Indra-Varuṇa, as ye created all these creatures of the world by your surpassing might, In peace and quiet Mitra waits on Varuṇa, the Other, awful, with the Maruis seeks renown.

mahé śulkā́ya váruṇasya nú tviṣá ójo mimāte dhruvám asya yát suvám |
ájāmim anyáḥ śnatháyantam ā́tirad dabhrébhir anyáḥ prá vr̥ṇoti bhū́yasaḥ ||

6 That Varuṇa's high worth may shine preeminent, these Twain have measured each his proper power and might. The One subdueth the destructive enemy; the Other with a few furthereth many a man.

ná tám áṃho ná duritā́ni mártiyam índrāvaruṇā ná tápaḥ kútaś caná |
yásya devā gáchatho vīthó adhvaráṃ ná tám mártasya naśate párihvr̥tiḥ ||

7 No trouble, no misfortune, Indra-Varuṇa, no woe from any side assails the mortal man Whose sacrifice, O Gods, ye visit and enjoy: ne’er doth the crafty guile of mortal injure him.

arvā́ṅ narā daíviyenā́vasā́ gataṃ śr̥ṇutáṃ hávaṃ yádi me jújoṣathaḥ |
yuvór hí sakhyám utá vā yád ā́piyam mārḍīkám indrāvaruṇā ní yachatam ||

8 With your divine protection, Heroes, come to us: mine invncation hear, if ye be pleased therewith. Bestow ye upon us, O Indra-Varuṇa, your friendship and your kinship and your favouring grace.

asmā́kam indrāvaruṇā bháre-bhare puroyodhā́ bhavataṃ kr̥ṣṭiojasā |
yád vāṃ hávanta ubháye ádha spr̥dhí náras tokásya tánayasya sātíṣu ||

9 In battle after battle, Indra-Varuṇa, be ye our Champions, ye who are the peoples' strength, When both opposing bands invoke you for the fight, and men that they may gain offspring and progeny.

asmé índro váruṇo mitró aryamā́ dyumnáṃ yachantu máhi śárma sapráthaḥ |
avadhráṃ jyótir áditer r̥tāvŕ̥dho devásya ślókaṃ savitúr manāmahe ||

10 May Indra, Varuṇa, Mitra, and Aryaman vouchsafe us glory and great shelter spreading far. We think of the beneficent light of Aditi, and Savitar's song of praise, the God who strengthens Law.
