O Varuna and Mitra, Surya spreads the radiant light of you two gods. He who sees all living beings watches well the zeal in mortal hearts.
The wise sage, renowned far and wide, prays to you, O Varuna and Mitra— May your sagely hearts favor his devotion, so that it fills his seasons with might.
From the vast earth, O Varuna and Mitra, from the high sky, you, Generous Givers, Guard the fields and homes, visiting everywhere without cease.
I praise the might of Varuna and Mitra, that might which, by its might, keeps both worlds apart. Without heroes, pass the months of the ungodly; he who loves sacrifice makes his home enduring.
All steers are sure in your people, where no wonder is seen, no worship. Guile follows close behind the untruthful; none can hide secrets from your knowledge.
I will honor your sacrifice with reverence; as priest, I invoke you, Mitra-Varuna. May these new hymns and prayers I've crafted bring you joy, for the benefit of the singer.
Gods! Varuna and Mitra! This priestly task has been done for you at sacrifices. Protect us safely through every danger. With blessings, evermore, be with us, gods.
