Rig Veda
ko vas trātā vasavaḥ ko varūtā dyāvābhūmī adite trāsīthāṃ naḥ sahīyaso varuṇa mitra martāt ko vo 'dhvare varivo dhāti devāḥ
Who of you, Vasus, saveth? who protecteth? O Heaven and Earth and Aditi, preserve us, Varuna., Mitra, from the stronger mortal. Gods, which of you at sacrifice giveth comfort?
pra ye dhāmāni pūrvyāṇy arcān vi yad ucchān viyotāro amūrāḥ vidhātāro vi te dadhur ajasrā ṛtadhītayo rurucanta dasmāḥ
They who with laud extol the ancient statutes, when they shine forth infallible dividers, Have ordered as perpetual Ordainers, and beamed as holy-thoughted WonderWorkers.
pra pastyām aditiṃ sindhum arkaiḥ svastim īﾱe sakhyāya devīm ubhe yathā no ahanī nipāta uṣāsānaktā karatām adabdhe
The Housewife Goddess, Aditi, and Sindhu, the Goddess Svasti I implore for friendship: And may the unobstructed Night and Morning both, day and night, provide for our protection.
vy aryamā varuṇaś ceti panthām iṣas patiḥ suvitaṃ gātum agniḥ indrāviṣṇū nṛvad u ṣu stavānā śarma no yantam amavad varūtham
Aryaman, Varuna have disclosed the pathway, Agni as Lord of Strength the road to welfare. Lauded in manly mode may Indra-Vishnu grant us their powerful defense and shelter.
ā parvatasya marutām avāṃsi devasya trātur avri bhagasya pāt patir janyād aṃhaso no mitro mitriyād uta na uruṣyet
I have besought the favourof the Maruts, of Parvata, of Bhaga God who rescues. From trouble caused by man the Lord preserve us; from woe sent by his friend let Mitra save us.
This verse is not included in this edition.
Agree, through these our watery oblations, Goddesses, Heaven and Earth, with Ahibudhnya. As if to win the sea, the Gharma-heaters have opened, as they come anear, the rivers.
devair no devy aditir ni pātu devas trātā trāyatām aprayucchan nahi mitrasya varuṇasya dhāsim arhāmasi pramiyaṃ sānv agneḥ
May Goddess Aditi with Gods defend us, save us the saviour God with care unceasing. We dare not stint the sacred food of Mitra and Varuna upon the back of Agni.
agnir īśe vasavyasyāgnir mahaḥ saubhagasya tāny asmabhyaṃ rāsate
Agni is Sovran Lord of wealth, Agni of great prosperity: May he bestow these gifts on us.
uṣo maghony ā vaha sūnṛte vāryā puru asmabhyaṃ vājinīvati
Hither to us, rich pleasant Dawn, bring many things to be desired, Thou who hast ample store of wealth.
tat su naḥ savitā bhago varuṇo mitro aryamā indro no rādhasā gamat
So then may Bhaga, Savitar, Varuna, Mitra, Aryaman, Indra, with bounty come to us.
