जनो॒ यो मि॑त्रावरुणावभि॒ध्रुग॒पो न वां॑ सु॒नोत्य॑क्ष्णया॒ध्रुक् । स्व॒यं स यक्ष्मं॒ हृद॑ये॒ नि ध॑त्त॒ आप॒ यदीं॒ होत्रा॑भिरृ॒तावा॑
jano yo mitrāvaruṇāvabhidhrugapo na vāṃ sunotyakṣṇayādhruk svayaṃ sa yakṣmaṃ hṛdaye ni dhatta āpa yadīṃ hotrābhirṛtāvā
The people who, O Mitra and Varuṇa, were named and guarded, do not abandon you in sharp peril. He himself places persistence in the heart and brings offerings of waters and hymns by the priests.
The mman who does you wrong, Mitra and Varuṇa, who injures you in any way, who does not present you with oblations, contracts for himself sickness in his heart; but he who, performing worship, (celebrates it) with praises.
The folk, O Mitra-Varuna, who hate you, who sinfully hating pour you no libations, Lay in their hearts, themselves, a wasting sickness, whereas the righteous gaineth all by worship.
