Three who uphold the earth, three the heavens, three keep the ordinances in the midst of these — thus the Adityas have greatly given you greatness; Mitra and Varuna accompany the noble.

They uphold the three worlds, the three heavens, and in their sacrifices three ceremonies (are comprised); by truth, Ādityas, has your great might (been produced), such as is most excellent; Aryaman, Mitra and Varuṇa. (They uphold the three worlds: tisro bhumir dhārayan: bhūmi = loka, world, or sphere; earth, firmament, and heaven which the Ādityas support by supplying them with rain; the three heavens: trīḥ dyūn, the three luminous objects, dīptan; the three lokas above the sky: mahar, jana, satya; or the three luminous deities: agni, vāyu and sūrya; three ceremonies: trīṇi vratā vidathe antar eṣām = lit. the three ceremonies in the sacrifice, in the midst of them; the three daily ceremonials are essentially one worship of the Ādityas; alternative meaning:in the midst of those worlds, there are three acts intended especially as the acts of the Ādityas, the absorption, retention, and redistribution of dew on rain].

With their support they stay three earths, three heavens; three are their functions in the Gods' assembly. Mighty through Law, Adityas, is your greatness; fair is it, Aryaman, Varuna, and Mitra.
