10,173 The King 
10.CLXXIII The King 
ā́ tvāhārṣam antár edhi dhruvás tiṣṭhā́vicācaliḥ |
víśas tvā sárvā vāñchantu mā́ tvád rāṣṭrám ádhi bhraśat || 
1 BE with us; I have chosen thee: stand stedfast and immovable. Let all the people wish for thee let not thy kingship fall away. 
ihaívaídhi mā́pa cyoṣṭhāḥ párvata 'vā́vicācaliḥ° |
índra 'vehá° dhruvás tiṣṭha ihá rāṣṭrám u dhāraya || 
2 Be even here; fall not away be like a mountain unremoved. Stand stedfast here like Indra's self, and hold the kingship in the grasp. 
imám índro adīdharad dhruváṃ dhruvéṇa havíṣā |
tásmai sómo ádhi bravat tásmā u bráhmaṇas pátiḥ || 
3 This man hath Indra stablished, made secure by strong oblation's power. May Soma speak a benison, and Brahmaṇaspati, on him. 
dhruvā́ dyaúr dhruvā́ pr̥thivī́ dhruvā́saḥ párvatā imé |
dhruváṃ víśvam idáṃ jágad dhruvó rā́jā viśā́m ayám || 
4 Firm is the sky and firm the earth, and stedfast also are these hills. Stedfast is all this living world, and stedfast is this King of men. 
dhruváṃ te rā́jā váruṇo dhruváṃ devó bŕ̥haspátiḥ |
dhruváṃ ta índraś cāgníś ca rāṣṭráṃ dhārayatāṃ dhruvám || 
5 Stedfast, may Varuṇa the King, stedfast, the God Bṛhaspati, Stedfast, may Indra, stedfast too, may Agni keep thy stedfast reign. 
dhruváṃ dhruvéṇa havíṣā abhí sómam mr̥śāmasi |
átho ta índraḥ kévalīr víśo balihŕ̥tas karat || 
6 On constant Soma let us think with constant sacrificial gift And then may Indra make the clans bring tribute unto thee alone.
