Bibliotheca Polyglotta

1 LORD of all wealth, the Asura propped the heavens, and measured out the broad earth's wide expanses. He, King supreme, approached all living creatures. All these are Varuṇa's holy operations.

evā́ vandasva váruṇam br̥hántaṃ namasyā́ dhī́ram amŕ̥tasya gopā́m |
sá naḥ śárma trivárūthaṃ ví yaṃsat pātáṃ no dyāvāpr̥thivī upásthe ||

2 So humbly worship Varuṇa the Mighty revere the wise Guard of World Immortal. May he vouchsafe us triply-barred protection. O Earth and Heaven, within your lap preserve us.

imā́ṃ dhíyaṃ śíkṣamāṇasya deva krátuṃ dákṣaṃ varuṇa sáṃ śiśādhi |
yáyā́ti víśvā duritā́ tárema sutármāṇam ádhi nā́vaṃ ruhema ||

3 Sharpen this song of him who strives his utmost, sharpen, God Varuṇa, his strength and insight; May we ascend the ship that bears us safely, whereby we may pass over all misfortune.

ā́ vāṃ grā́vāṇo aśvinā dhībhír víprā acucyavuḥ |
nā́satyā sómapītaye nábhantām anyaké same ||

4 Aśvins, with songs the singer stones have made you hasten hitherward, Nāsatyas, to the Soma-draught. Let all the others die away.

yáthā vām átrir aśvinā gīrbhír vípro ájohavīt |
nā́satyā sómapītaye nábhantām anyaké same ||

5 As the sage Atri with his hymns, O Aśvins, called you eagerly, Nāsatyas, to the Soma-draught. Let all the others die away.

evā́ vām ahva ūtáye yáthā́huvanta médhirāḥ |
nā́satyā sómapītaye nábhantām anyaké same ||

6 So have I called you to our aid, even as the wise have called of old, Nāsatyas, to the Soma-draught. Let all the others die away.
