1. SURYA hath sent aloft his beams of
splendour o'er all the tribes of men in countless places.
Together with the heaven he shines apparent,
formed by his Makers well with power and wisdom.
2 So hast thou mounted up
before us, Surya, through these our praises, with fleet dappled horses.
Declare us free from all offence to Mitra, and
Varuna, and Aryaman, and Agni.
3 May holy Agni, Varuna, and
Mitra send down their riches upon us in thousands.
May they, the Bright Ones, make our praise-song
perfect, and, when we laud them, grant us all our wishes.
4 O undivided Heaven and
Earth, preserve us, us, Lofty Ones! your nobIy-born descendants.
Let us not anger Varuna, nor Vayu, nor him, the
dearest Friend of mortals, Mitra.
5 Stretch forth your arms and
let our lives be lengthened: with fatness dew the pastures of our cattle.
Ye Youthful, make us famed among the people:
hear, Mitra-Varuna, these mine invocations.
6 Now Mitra, Varuna, Aryaman
vouchsafe us freedom and room, for us and for our children.
May we find paths all fair and good to travel. Preserve
us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
