Sukta 82

इन्द्रावरुणा युवमध्वराय नो विशे जनाय महि शर्म यच्छतम्। दीर्घप्रयज्युमति यो वनुष्यति वयं जयेम पृतनासु दूढ्यः॥

indrāvaruṇā yuvamadhvarāya no viśe janāya mahi śarma yacchatam | dīrghaprayajyumati yo vanuṣyati vayaṁ jayema pṛtanāsu dūḍhyaḥ ||

GRANT us your strong protection, IndraVaruna, our people, and our family, for sacrifice. May we subdue in fight our evil-hearted foes, him who attacks the man steadfast in lengthened rites.

सम्राळन्यः स्वराळन्य उच्यते वां महान्ताविन्द्रावरुणा महावसू। विश्वे देवासः परमे व्योमनि सं वामोजो वृषणा सं बलं दधुः॥

samrāḻanyaḥ svarāḻanya ucyate vāṁ mahāntāvindrāvaruṇā mahāvasū | viśve devāsaḥ parame vyomani saṁ vāmojo vṛṣaṇā saṁ balaṁ dadhuḥ ||

O Indra-Varuna, mighty and very rich One of you is called Monarch and One Autocrat. All Gods in the most lofty region of the air have, O ye Steers, combined all power and might in you.

अन्वपां खान्यतृन्तमोजसा सूर्यमैरयतं दिवि प्रभुम्। इन्द्रावरुणा मदे अस्य मायिनोऽपिन्वतमपितः पिन्वतं धियः॥

anvapāṁ khānyatṛntamojasā sūryamairayataṁ divi prabhum | indrāvaruṇā made asya māyino'pinvatamapitaḥ pinvataṁ dhiyaḥ ||

Ye with your strength have pierced the fountains of the floods: the Sun have ye brought forward as the Lord in heaven. Cheered by this magic draught ye, Indra-Varuna, made the dry places stream, made songs of praise flow forth.

युवामिद्युत्सु पृतनासु वह्नयो युवां क्षेमस्य प्रसवे मितज्ञवः। ईशाना वस्व उभयस्य कारव इन्द्रावरुणा सुहवा हवामहे॥

yuvāmidyutsu pṛtanāsu vahnayo yuvāṁ kṣemasya prasave mitajñavaḥ | īśānā vasva ubhayasya kārava indrāvaruṇā suhavā havāmahe ||

In battels and in frays we ministering priests, kneeling upon our knees for furtherance of our weal, Invoke you, only you, the Lords of twofold wealth, you prompt to hear, we bards, O Indra-Varuna.

इन्द्रावरुणा यदिमानि चक्रथुर्विश्वा जातानि भुवनस्य मज्मना। क्षेमेण मित्रो वरुणं दुवस्यति मरुद्भिरुग्रः शुभमन्य ईयते॥

indrāvaruṇā yadimāni cakrathurviśvā jātāni bhuvanasya majmanā | kṣemeṇa mitro varuṇaṁ duvasyati marudbhirugraḥ śubhamanya īyate ||

O Indra-Varuna, as ye created all these creatures of the world by your surpassing might, In peace and quiet Mitra waits on Varuna, the Other, awful, with the Maruis seeks renown.

महे शुल्काय वरुणस्य नु त्विष ओजो मिमाते ध्रुवमस्य यत्स्वम्। अजामिमन्यः श्नथयन्तमातिरद्दभ्रेभिरन्यः प्र वृणोति भूयसः॥

mahe śulkāya varuṇasya nu tviṣa ojo mimāte dhruvamasya yatsvam | ajāmimanyaḥ śnathayantamātiraddabhrebhiranyaḥ pra vṛṇoti bhūyasaḥ ||

That Varuna's high worth may shine preeminent, these Twain have measured each his proper power and might. The One subdueth the destructive enemy; the Other with a few furthereth many a man.

न तमंहो न दुरितानि मर्त्यमिन्द्रावरुणा न तपः कुतश्चन। यस्य देवा गच्छथो वीथो अध्वरं न तं मर्तस्य नशते परिह्वृतिः॥

na tamaṁho na duritāni martyamindrāvaruṇā na tapaḥ kutaścana | yasya devā gacchatho vītho adhvaraṁ na taṁ martasya naśate parihvṛtiḥ ||

No trouble, no misfortune, Indra-Varuna, no woe from any side assails the mortal man Whose sacrifice, O Gods, ye visit and enjoy: ne'er doth the crafty guile of mortal injure him.

अर्वाङ्नरा दैव्येनावसा गतं शृणुतं हवं यदि मे जुजोषथः। युवोर्हि सख्यमुत वा यदाप्यं मार्डीकमिन्द्रावरुणा नि यच्छतम्॥

arvāṅnarā daivyenāvasā gataṁ śṛṇutaṁ havaṁ yadi me jujoṣathaḥ | yuvorhi sakhyamuta vā yadāpyaṁ mārḍīkamindrāvaruṇā ni yacchatam ||

With your divine protection, Heroes, come to us: mine invncation hear, if ye be pleased therewith. Bestow ye upon us, O Indra-Varuna, your friendship and your kinship and your favouring grace.

अस्माकमिन्द्रावरुणा भरेभरे पुरोयोधा भवतं कृष्ट्योजसा। यद्वां हवन्त उभये अध स्पृधि नरस्तोकस्य तनयस्य सातिषु॥

asmākamindrāvaruṇā bharebhare puroyodhā bhavataṁ kṛṣṭyojasā | yadvāṁ havanta ubhaye adha spṛdhi narastokasya tanayasya sātiṣu ||

In battle after battle, Indra-Varuna, be ye our Champions, ye who are the peoples' strength, When both opposing bands invoke you for the fight, and men that they may gain offspring and progeny.

अस्मे इन्द्रो वरुणो मित्रो अर्यमा द्युम्नं यच्छन्तु महि शर्म सप्रथः। अवध्रं ज्योतिरदितेरृतावृधो देवस्य श्लोकं सवितुर्मनामहे॥

asme indro varuṇo mitro aryamā dyumnaṁ yacchantu mahi śarma saprathaḥ | avadhraṁ jyotiraditerṛtāvṛdho devasya ślokaṁ saviturmanāmahe ||

May Indra, Varuna, Mitra, and Aryaman vouchsafe us glory and great shelter spreading far. We think of the beneficent light of Aditi, and Savitar's song of praise, the God who strengthens Law.
