सूक्त ६९

त्री रोचना वरुण त्रीँरुत द्यून्त्रीणि मित्र धारयथो रजांसि। वावृधानावमतिं क्षत्रियस्यानु व्रतं रक्षमाणावजुर्यम्॥

trī rocanā varuṇa trīruta dyūntrīṇi mitra dhārayatho rajāṁsi | vāvṛdhānāvamatiṁ kṣatriyasyānu vrataṁ rakṣamāṇāvajuryam ||

THREE spheres of light, O Varuna, three heavens, three firmaments ye comprehend, O Mitra: Waxed strong, ye keep the splendour of dominion, guarding the Ordinance that lasts for ever.

इरावतीर्वरुण धेनवो वां मधुमद्वां सिन्धवो मित्र दुह्रे। त्रयस्तस्थुर्वृषभासस्तिसृणां धिषणानां रेतोधा वि द्युमन्तः॥

irāvatīrvaruṇa dhenavo vāṁ madhumadvāṁ sindhavo mitra duhre | trayastasthurvṛṣabhāsastisṛṇāṁ dhiṣaṇānāṁ retodhā vi dyumantaḥ ||

Ye, Varuna, have kine who yield refreshment; Mitra, your floods pour water full of sweetness. There stand the Three Steers, splendid in their brightness, who fill the three world-bowls with genial moisture.

प्रातर्देवीमदितिं जोहवीमि मध्यंदिन उदिता सूर्यस्य। राये मित्रावरुणा सर्वतातेळे तोकाय तनयाय शं योः॥

prātardevīmaditiṁ johavīmi madhyaṁdina uditā sūryasya | rāye mitrāvaruṇā sarvatāteḻe tokāya tanayāya śaṁ yoḥ ||

I call at dawn on Aditi the Goddess, I call at noon and when the Sun is setting. I pray, O Mitra-Varuna, for safety, for wealth and progeny, in rest and trouble.

या धर्तारा रजसो रोचनस्योतादित्या दिव्या पार्थिवस्य। न वां देवा अमृता आ मिनन्ति व्रतानि मित्रावरुणा ध्रुवाणि॥

yā dhartārā rajaso rocanasyotādityā divyā pārthivasya | na vāṁ devā amṛtā ā minanti vratāni mitrāvaruṇā dhruvāṇi ||

Ye who uphold the region, sphere of brightness, ye who support earth's realm Divine Adityas, The Immortal Gods, O Varuna and Mitra, never impair your everlasting statutes.
