Rig Veda
yuvaṃ vastrāṇi pīvasā vasāthe yuvor acchidrā mantavo ha sargāḥ avātiratam anṛtāni viśva ṛtena mitrāvaruṇā sacethe
The robes which ye put on abound with fatness: uninterrupted courses are your counsels. All falsehood, Mitra-Varuna! ye conquer, and closely cleave unto the Law Eternal.
etac cana tvo vi ciketad eṣāṃ satyo mantraḥ kaviśasta ṛghāvān triraśriṃ hanti caturaśrir ugro devanido ha prathamā ajūryan
This might of theirs hath no one comprehended. True is the crushing word the sage hath uttered, The fearful four-edged bolt smites down the three-edged, and those who hate the Gods first fall and perish.
apād eti prathamā padvatīnāṃ kas tad vām mitrāvaruṇā ciketa garbho bhāram bharaty ā cid asya ṛtam piparty anṛtaṃ ni tārīt
The Footless Maid precedeth footed creatures. Who marketh, Mitra-Varuna, this your doing? The Babe Unborn supporteth this world's burthen, fulfilleth Law and overcometh falsehood.
prayantam it pari jāraṃ kanīnām paśyāmasi nopanipadyamānam anavapṛgṇā vitatā vasānam priyam mitrasya varuṇasya dhāma
We look on him the darling of the Maidens, always advancing, never falling downward, Wearing inseparable, wide-spread raiment, Mitra's and Varuna's delightful glory.
anaśvo jāto anabhīśur arvā kanikradat patayad ūrdhvasānuḥ acittam brahma jujuṣur yuvānaḥ pra mitre dhāma varuṇe gṛṇantaḥ
Unbridled Courser, born but not of horses, neighing he flieth on with back uplifted. The youthful love mystery thought-surpassing, praising in Mitra-Varuna, its glory.
ā dhenavo māmateyam avantīr brahmapriyam pīpayan sasminn ūdhan pitvo bhikṣeta vayunāni vidvān āsāvivāsann aditim uruṣyet
May the milch-kine who favour Mamateya prosper in this world him who loves devotion. May he, well skilled in rites, be food, and calling Aditi with his lips give us assistance.
ā vām mitrāvaruṇā havyajuṣṭiṃ namasā devāv avasā vavṛtyām asmākam brahma pṛtanāsu sahyā asmākaṃ vṛṣṭir divyā supārā
Gods, Mitra-Varuna, with love and worship, let me make you delight in this oblation. May our prayer be victorious in battles, may we have rain from heaven to make us prosper.
