Sukta 136

प्र सु ज्येष्ठं निचिराभ्यां बृहन्नमो हव्यं मतिं भरता मृळयद्भ्यां स्वादिष्ठं मृळयद्भ्याम्। ता सम्राजा घृतासुती यज्ञेयज्ञ उपस्तुता। अथैनोः क्षत्रं न कुतश्चनाधृषे देवत्वं नू चिदाधृषे॥

pra su jyeṣṭhaṁ nicirābhyāṁ bṛhannamo havyaṁ matiṁ bharatā mṛḻayadbhyāṁ svādiṣṭhaṁ mṛḻayadbhyām | tā samrājā ghṛtāsutī yajñeyajña upastutā | athainoḥ kṣatraṁ na kutaścanādhṛṣe devatvaṁ nū cidādhṛṣe ||

BRING adoration ample and most excellent, hymn, offierings, to the watchful Twain, the bountiful, your sweetest to the bounteous Ones. Sovrans adored with streams of oil and praised at every sacrifice. Their high imperial might may nowhere be assailed, ne'er may their Godhead be assailed.

अदर्शि गातुरुरवे वरीयसी पन्था ऋतस्य समयंस्त रश्मिभिश्चक्षुर्भगस्य रश्मिभिः। द्युक्षं मित्रस्य सादनमर्यम्णो वरुणस्य च। अथा दधाते बृहदुक्थ्यं वय उपस्तुत्यं बृहद्वयः॥

adarśi gātururave varīyasī panthā ṛtasya samayaṁsta raśmibhiścakṣurbhagasya raśmibhiḥ | dyukṣaṁ mitrasya sādanamaryamṇo varuṇasya ca | athā dadhāte bṛhadukthyaṁ vaya upastutyaṁ bṛhadvayaḥ ||

For the broad Sun was seen a path more widely laid, the path of holy law hath been maintained with rays, the eye with Bhaga's rays of light. Firm-set in heaven is Mitra's home, and Aryaman's and Varuna's. Thence they give forth great vital strength which merits praise, high power of life that men shall praise.

ज्योतिष्मतीमदितिं धारयत्क्षितिं स्वर्वतीमा सचेते दिवेदिवे जागृवांसा दिवेदिवे। ज्योतिष्मत्क्षत्रमाशाते आदित्या दानुनस्पती। मित्रस्तयोर्वरुणो यातयज्जनोऽर्यमा यातयज्जनः॥

jyotiṣmatīmaditiṁ dhārayatkṣitiṁ svarvatīmā sacete divedive jāgṛvāṁsā divedive | jyotiṣmatkṣatramāśāte ādityā dānunaspatī | mitrastayorvaruṇo yātayajjano'ryamā yātayajjanaḥ ||

With Aditi the luminous, the celestial, upholder of the people, come ye day by day, ye who watch sleepless, day by day. Resplendent might have ye obtained, Adityas, Lords of liberal gifts. Movers of men, mild both, are Mitra, Varuna, mover of men is Aryaman.

अयं मित्राय वरुणाय शंतमः सोमो भूत्ववपानेष्वाभगो देवो देवेष्वाभगः। तं देवासो जुषेरत विश्वे अद्य सजोषसः। तथा राजाना करथो यदीमह ऋतावाना यदीमहे॥

ayaṁ mitrāya varuṇāya śaṁtamaḥ somo bhūtvavapāneṣvābhago devo deveṣvābhagaḥ | taṁ devāso juṣerata viśve adya sajoṣasaḥ | tathā rājānā karatho yadīmaha ṛtāvānā yadīmahe ||

This Soma be most sweet to Mitra, Varuna: he in the drinking-feasts, shall have a share thereof, sharing, a God, among the Gods. May all the Gods of one accord accept it joyfully to-day. Therefore do ye, O Kings, accomplish what we ask, ye Righteous Ones, whate'er we ask.

यो मित्राय वरुणायाविधज्जनोऽनर्वाणं तं परि पातो अंहसो दाश्वांसं मर्तमंहसः। तमर्यमाभि रक्षत्यृजूयन्तमनु व्रतम्। उक्थैर्य एनोः परिभूषति व्रतं स्तोमैराभूषति व्रतम्॥

yo mitrāya varuṇāyāvidhajjano'narvāṇaṁ taṁ pari pāto aṁhaso dāśvāṁsaṁ martamaṁhasaḥ | tamaryamābhi rakṣatyṛjūyantamanu vratam | ukthairya enoḥ paribhūṣati vrataṁ stomairābhūṣati vratam ||

Whoso, with worship serves Mitra and VaruiIa, him guard ye carefully, uninjured, from distress, guard from distress the liberal man. Aryaman guards him well who acts uprightly following his law, Who beautifies their service with his lauds, who makes it beautiful with songs of praise.

नमो दिवे बृहते रोदसीभ्यां मित्राय वोचं वरुणाय मीळ्हुषे सुमृळीकाय मीळ्हुषे। इन्द्रमग्निमुप स्तुहि द्युक्षमर्यमणं भगम्। ज्योग्जीवन्तः प्रजया सचेमहि सोमस्योती सचेमहि॥

namo dive bṛhate rodasībhyāṁ mitrāya vocaṁ varuṇāya mīḻhuṣe sumṛḻīkāya mīḻhuṣe | indramagnimupa stuhi dyukṣamaryamaṇaṁ bhagam | jyogjīvantaḥ prajayā sacemahi somasyotī sacemahi ||

Worship will I proress to lofty Dyaus, to Heaven and Earth, to Mitra and to bounteous Varuna, the Bounteous, the Compassionate. Praise Indra, praise thou Agni, praise Bhaga and heavenly Aryaman. Long may we live and have attendant progeny, have progeny with Soma's help.

ऊती देवानां वयमिन्द्रवन्तो मंसीमहि स्वयशसो मरुद्भिः। अग्निर्मित्रो वरुणः शर्म यंसन्तदश्याम मघवानो वयं च॥

ūtī devānāṁ vayamindravanto maṁsīmahi svayaśaso marudbhiḥ | agnirmitro varuṇaḥ śarma yaṁsantadaśyāma maghavāno vayaṁ ca ||

With the Gods' help, with Indra still beside us, may we be held self-splendid with the Maruts. May Agni, Mitra, Varuna give us shelter this may we gain, we and our wealthy princes.
