Rig Veda
kasya nūnaṃ katamasyāmṛtānām manāmahe cāru devasya nāma ko no mahyā aditaye punar dāt pitaraṃ ca dṛśeyam mātaraṃ ca
Who now is he, what God among Immortals, of whose auspicious name we may bethink us? Who shall to mighty Aditi restore us, that I may see my Father and my Mother?
agner vayam prathamasyāmṛtānām manāmahe cāru devasya nāma sa no mahyā aditaye punar dāt pitaraṃ ca dṛśeyam mātaraṃ ca
Agni the God the first among the Immortals,—of his auspicious name let us bethink us. He shall to mighty Aditi restore us, that I may see my Father and my Mother.
abhi tvā deva savitar īśānaṃ vāryāṇām sadāvan bhāgam īmahe
To thee, O Savitar, the Lord of precious things, who helpest us Continually, for our share we come-
yaś ciddhi ta itthā bhagaḥ śaśamānaḥ purā nidaḥ adveṣo hastayor dadhe
Wealth, highly lauded ere reproach hath fallen on it, which is laid, Free from all hatred, in thy hands
bhagabhaktasya te vayam ud aśema tavāvasā mūrdhānaṃ rāya ārabhe
Through thy protection may we come to even the height of affluence Which Bhaga hath dealt out to us.
nahi te kṣatraṃ na saho na manyuṃ vayaś canāmī patayanta āpuḥ nemā āpo animiṣaṃ carantīr na ye vātasya praminanty abhvam
Ne'er have those birds that fly through air attained to thy high dominion or thy might or spirit; Nor these the waters that flow on for ever, nor hills, abaters of the wind's wild fury.
abudhne rājā varuṇo vanasyordhvaṃ stūpaṃ dadate pūtadakṣaḥ nīcīnā sthur upari budhna eṣām asme antar nihitāḥ ketavaḥ syuḥ
Varuna, King, of hallowed might, sustaineth erect the Tree's stem in the baseless region. Its rays, whose root is high above, stream downward. Deep may they sink within us, and be hidden.
uruṃ hi rājā varuṇaś cakāra sūryāya panthām anvetavā u apade pādā pratidhātave 'kar utāpavaktā hṛdayāvidhaś cit
King Varuna hath made a spacious pathway, a pathway for the Sun wherein to travel. Where no way was he made him set his footstep, and warned afar whate'er afflicts the spirit.
śataṃ te rājan bhiṣajaḥ sahasram urvī gabhīrā sumatiṣ ṭe astu bādhasva dūre nirṛtim parācaiḥ kṛtaṃ cid enaḥ pra mumugdhy asmat
A hundred balms are thine, O King, a thousand; deep and wide-reaching also be thy favours. Far from us, far away drive thou Destruction. Put from us e'en the sin we have committed.
amī ya ṛkṣā nihitāsa uccā naktaṃ dadṛśre kuha cid diveyuḥ adabdhāni varuṇasya vratāni vicākaśac candramā naktam eti
Whither by day depart the constellations that shine at night, set high in heaven above us? Varuna's holy laws remain unweakened, and through the night the Moon moves on in splendor
tat tvā yāmi brahmaṇā vandamānas tad ā śāste yajamāno havirbhiḥ aheḍamāno varuṇeha bodhy uruśaṃsa mā na āyuḥ pra moṣīḥ
I ask this of thee with my prayer adoring; thy worshipper craves this with his oblation. Varuna, stay thou here and be not angry; steal not our life from us, O thou Wide-Ruler.
tad in naktaṃ tad divā mahyam āhus tad ayaṃ keto hṛda ā vi caṣṭe śunaḥśepo yam ahvad gṛbhītaḥ so asmān rājā varuṇo mumoktu
Nightly and daily this one thing they tell me, this too the thought of mine own heart repeateth. May he to whom prayed fettered Sunahsepa, may he the Sovran Varuna release us.
śunaḥśepo hy ahvad gṛbhītas triṣv ādityaṃ drupadeṣu baddhaḥ avainaṃ rājā varuṇaḥ sasṛjyād vidvāṁ adabdho vi mumoktu pāśān
Bound to three pillars captured Sunahsepa thus to the Aditya made his supplication. Him may the Sovran Varuna deliver, wise, ne'er deceived, loosen the bonds that bind him.
ava te heḍo varuṇa namobhir ava yajñebhir īmahe havirbhiḥ kṣayann asmabhyam asura pracetā rājann enāṃsi śiśrathaḥ kṛtāni
With bending down, oblations, sacrifices, O Varuna, we deprecate thine anger: Wise Asura, thou King of wide dominion, loosen the bonds of sins by us committed.
ud uttamaṃ varuṇa pāśam asmad avādhamaṃ vi madhyamaṃ śrathāya athā vayam āditya vrate tavānāgaso aditaye syāma
Loosen the bonds, O Varuna, that hold me, loosen the bonds above, between, and under. So in thy holy law may we made sinless belong to Aditi, O thou Aditya.
