धृत॑व्रता॒ आदि॑त्या॒ इषि॑रा आ॒रे मत्क॑र्त रह॒सूरि॒वागः॑ । शृ॒ण्व॒तो वो॒ वरु॑ण॒ मित्र॒ देवा॑ भ॒द्रस्य॑ वि॒द्वाँ अव॑से हुवे वः
dhṛtavratā ādityā iṣirā āre matkarta rahasūrivāgaḥ śaṛṇvato vo varuṇa mitra devā bhadrasya vidvām̐ avase huve vaḥ
Steadfast in vow, offspring of the Sun, like secret keepers, hear us: Varuṇa, Mitra, gods, bestow auspicious knowledge; wise ones, accept our oblation.
Ādityas, upholders of pious works, and who are to be sought by all, remove sin far from me, like a woman delivered in secret; knowing, Mitra, Varuṇa and (universal) gods, the good that follows from your hearing our prayers, I invoke you for (our) protection.
UPHOLDERS of the Law, ye strong Adityas, remove my sin like her who bears in secret. You, Varuna, Mitra and all Gods who listen, I call to help me, I who know your goodness.
