mahi vo mahatāmavo varuṇa mitra dāśuṣe yamādityā abhi druho rakṣathā nemaghaṃ naśadanehaso va ūtayaḥ suūtayo va ūtayaḥ
Great be your might, O Varuna, Mitra, Dasus! The Yama and the Adityas protect the chiefs—do not break the fetters; the swift couriers and the messengers protect.
Mitra and Varuṇa, you are great, and great is your protection to the offerer; no evil, Ādityas, harmshim whom you guard from the injurer; your aids are void of harm, your aids are true aids.
GREAT help ye give the worshipper, Varuna, Mitra, Mighty Ones! No sorrow ever reaches him whom ye, Adityas, keep from harm. Yours are incomparable aids, and good the succour they afford.
