ता भूरि॑पाशा॒वनृ॑तस्य॒ सेतू॑ दुर॒त्येतू॑ रि॒पवे॒ मर्त्या॑य । ऋ॒तस्य॑ मित्रावरुणा प॒था वा॑म॒पो न ना॒वा दु॑रि॒ता त॑रेम
tā bhūripāśāvanṛtasya setū duratyetū ripave martyāya ṛtasya mitrāvaruṇā pathā vāmapo na nāvā duritā tarema
They bound many snares, the bridge of wrath against the hostile, to repel the foe of mortals. By the law of Mitra and Varuna, paths and waters were not impeded; they carried us across without harm.
Holders are you of many fetters, barriers against the irreligious, invincible by hostile mortals; may wecross over all the danger, Mitra and Varuṇa, by the path of sacrifice, to you, as (we cross over) water by a boat.
Bonds of the sinner, they bear many nooses: the wicked mortal hardly may escape them. Varuna-Mitra, may your path of Order bear us o'er trouble as a boat o'er waters.
