A hymn to Mitra-Varuna
GriffithEnglish
You twain, O Mitra, Varuna, I honour, Lawstrengtheners, wise, who drive away oppressors. Ye who protect the truthful in his battles, deliver us, ye twain, from grief and trouble.
Ye the wise Gods who drive away oppressors, ye who protect the truthful in his battles, Who come, men's guards, to juice pressed forth by Babhru,. deliver us, ye twain, from grief and trouble.
Mitra and Varuna who help Agasti, Atri, and Angiras, and Jamadagni, Ye who help Kasyapa, who help Vasishtha, deliver us, ye twain, from grief and trouble.
Mitra and Varuna, who help Syāvāsva, Atri, and Purumilha, and Vadhryasva, Ye who help Vimada and Saptavadhri, deliver us, ye twain, from grief and trouble.
Ye, Varuna, Mitra, who give aid to Kutsa, Gavishthira, Bharadvāja, Visvāmitra, Who help Kakshivan and give aid to Kanva, deliver us, ye twain, from grief and trouble.
Ye, Mitra, Varuna, who help Trisoka, Medhātithi, and Usanā son of Kavi, Ye, Gotama's and Mudgala's protectors, deliver us, ye twain, from grief and trouble.
Whose straight-reined car that keeps the track of goodness assails and ruins him who walks perversely I, suppliant, praise with constant invocation Mitra and Varuna. Save us from affliction.
