No danger, no severe distress touches the mortal man, Led by Aryaman and Mitra, and Varuṇa, together, beyond his enemies.
We wish this very thing, Varuṇa, Mitra, Aryaman, That you protect the mortal man from great distress and lead him safely beyond his foes.
Each one of these is our present help, Varuṇa, Mitra, Aryaman, Best leaders, best deliverers to guide us on and bear us safely beyond our foes.
You surround and guard each man, Varuṇa, Mitra, Aryaman, May we be kept in your dear keeping, excellent guides beyond our foes.
Adityas are beyond all foes—Varuṇa, Mitra, Aryaman— Strong Rudra with the Maruts, Indra, Agni, let us call for peace beyond our foes.
They lead us safely over all, Varuṇa, Mitra, Aryaman, Those who are kings of living men, over all troubles far away beyond our foes.
May they bring us bliss to aid us well, Varuṇa, Mitra, Aryaman, May the Adityas, when we pray, grant us wide shelter and defense beyond our foes.
As here, O Holy Ones, you Vasus freed even Gaur when her feet were bound, Free us now from trouble and affliction; may our life be lengthened still, O Api.
