आदि॑त्या॒ अव॒ हि ख्यताधि॒ कूला॑दिव॒ स्पशः॑ । सु॒ती॒र्थमर्व॑तो य॒थानु॑ नो नेषथा सु॒गम॑ने॒हसो॑ व ऊ॒तयः॑ सुऊ॒तयो॑ व ऊ॒तयः॑
ādityā ava hi khyatādhi kūlādiva spaśaḥ sutīrthamarvato yathānu no neṣathā sugamanehaso va ūtayaḥ suūtayo va ūtayaḥ
The Adityas indeed are manifest, famed like a bank or shore; like a good pilgrimage they direct the flowing river for us; O exalted ones, O heralds, be gracious to us.
Ādityas, look down upon us as those who look from the shore; as (men lead) their horses to a secureGhāṭa, so conduct us along a good path; your aids are void of harm, your aids are void of harm, your aids aretrue aids.
Look down on us, Adityas, as a guide exploring from the bank. Lead us to pleasant ways as men lead horses to an easy ford.
