Sanskrit Original
यत्रा॒ नरः॑ स॒मय॑न्ते कृ॒तध्व॑जो॒ यस्मि॑न्ना॒जा भव॑ति॒ किं च॒न प्रि॒यम् । यत्रा॒ भय॑न्ते॒ भुव॑ना स्व॒र्दृश॒स्तत्रा॑ न इन्द्रावरु॒णाधि॑ वोचतम्
yatrā naraḥ samayante kṛtadhvajo yasminnājā bhavati kiṃ cana priyam yatrā bhayante bhuvanā svardṛśastatrā na indrāvaruṇādhi vocatam
Where men unite, where the sacred flag stands, where food becomes offspring and all is dear; where the worlds fear and the seers behold, there Indra and Varuna spoke to you.
Where men assemble with uplifted banners, in whatever conflict, there is something unfavourable;where living beings, looking to heaven, are in fear, there, Indra and Varuṇa, speak tous (encouragement).
Where heroes come together with their banners raised, in the encounter where is naught for us to love, Where all things that behold the light are terrified, there did ye comfort us, O Indra-Varuna.
