1

The clothes you wear are filled with abundance; your plans are constant. All lies, Mitra-Varuṇa! You triumph, and hold fast to the Eternal Law.

2

Their power none can grasp. The wise man spoke a true word, a fearsome three-pronged bolt, Smashing the three-pronged, and those who hate the gods fall first and perish.

3

The Unfooted One leads the footed ones. Who sees, Mitra-Varuṇa, this deed of yours? The Unborn Child supports this world’s burden, fulfills the Law and conquers falsehood.

4

We see him, the darling of the maidens, ever advancing, never falling backward, Wearing unbroken, wide-spreading garments, Mitra’s and Varuṇa’s delightful glory.

5

Unbridled Horse, born but not of horses, neighing he flies with his back upraised. The youthful love, surpassing thoughts, praising in Mitra-Varuṇa, its splendor.

6

May the cows that favor Māmateya prosper in this world for the devotee. May he, skilled in rituals, be sustenance, and with his lips call Aditi to assist us.

7

Gods, Mitra-Varuṇa, with love and worship, may I make you delight in this offering. May our prayer be victorious in battles, may we have rain from heaven to prosper.
