ता वां॑ मित्रावरुणा धार॒यत्क्षि॑ती सुषु॒म्नेषि॑त॒त्वता॑ यजामसि । यु॒वोः क्रा॒णाय॑ स॒ख्यैर॒भि ष्या॑म र॒क्षसः॑
tā vāṃ mitrāvaruṇā dhārayatkṣitī suṣumneṣitatvatā yajāmasi yuvoḥ krāṇāya sakhyairabhi ṣyāma rakṣasaḥ
May Mitra and Varuṇa support you, hold you like the earth within the central channel; with friendly bonds we worship you for the benefit of both, to ward off foes.
Mitra and Varuṇa, who sustain the earth, we worship you, the givers of felicity, for the sake ofattaining our desires; may we, through your favour for the performer (of the sacrifice), overcome the rākṣasas.
As such we honour you, Mitra and Varuna, with hasty zeal, most blest, you who sustain the folk. So may we, through your friendship for the worshipper, subdue the fiends.
