यस्मि॑न्दे॒वा मन्म॑नि सं॒चर॑न्त्यपी॒च्ये॒३॒॑ न व॒यम॑स्य विद्म । मि॒त्रो नो॒ अत्रादि॑ति॒रना॑गान्सवि॒ता दे॒वो वरु॑णाय वोचत्
yasmindevā manmani saṃcarantyapīcye3 na vayamasya vidma mitro no atrāditiranāgānsavitā devo varuṇāya vocat
By whom the gods harness thought and wander in the mind yet we do not know him. Mitra and Aditi, the serpentine hosts, Savitṛ and the god spoke to Varuṇa.
When he, the all-illumining, is there, the gods assemble; but when he is concealed, we know not (hisabode); so at this sacrifice, let Mitra and Aditi and Savitā proclaim us to Varuṇa as free from sin.
The counsel which the Gods meet to consider, their secret plan,-of that we have no knowledge. There let God Savitar, Aditi, and Mitra proclaim to Varuna that we are sinless.
