 1. You, foeman-slaying Varuna and Mitra, we
invoke with song, 
Who, as with penfold of your arms, encompass round the realm
of light. 
2 Stretch out your arms with favouring love
unto this man who singeth hymns, 
For in all places is sung forth your evergracious
friendliness. 
3 That I may gain a refuge now, may my
steps be on Mitra's path. 
Men go protected in the charge of this dear Friend who harms
us not. 
4 Mitra and Varuna, from you may I, by
song, win noblest meed. 
That shall stir envy in the homes of wealthy chiefs and
those who praise. 
5 With your fair splendours, Varuna and
Mitra, to our gathering come, 
That in their homes the wealthy chiefs and they who are your
friends may thrive. 
6 With those, moreover, among whom ye hold
your high supremacy, 
Vouchsafe us room that we may win strength for prosperity
and wealth. 
7 When morning flushes, Holy Ones! in the
Gods' realm where white Cows shine, 
Supporting Arcananas, speed, ye Heroes, with your active
feet hither to my pressed Soma juice.
