प्र स मि॑त्र॒ मर्तो॑ अस्तु॒ प्रय॑स्वा॒न्यस्त॑ आदित्य॒ शिक्ष॑ति व्र॒तेन॑ । न ह॑न्यते॒ न जी॑यते॒ त्वोतो॒ नैन॒मंहो॑ अश्नो॒त्यन्ति॑तो॒ न दू॒रात्
pra sa mitra marto astu prayasvānyasta āditya śikṣati vratena na hanyate na jīyate tvoto nainamaṃho aśnotyantito na dūrāt
May Mitra, the mortal, be gracious; may the rising Sun instruct him by vow. He is not slain, not overcome; from him these foes do not devour from afar.
May that mortal enjoy abundance, Mitra, who presents you, Āditya, (with offerings) at the sacred rite; protected by you he is not harmed; he is not overcome by any one; son reaches him not, either from afar or nigh.
Foremost be he who brings thee food, O Mitra, who strives to keep thy sacred Law, Aditya. He whom thou helpest ne'er is slain or conquered, on him, from near or far, falls no affliction.
