1.136.1

प्र सु ज्येष्ठं॑ निचि॒राभ्यां॑ बृ॒हन्नमो॑ ह॒व्यं म॒तिं भ॑रता मृळ॒यद्भ्यां॒ स्वादि॑ष्ठं मृळ॒यद्भ्या॑म् | ता स॒म्राजा॑ घृ॒तासु॑ती य॒ज्ञेय॑ज्ञ॒ उप॑स्तुता | अथै॑नोः क्ष॒त्रं न कुत॑श्च॒नाधृषे॑ देव॒त्वं नू चि॑दा॒धृषे॑ ||

BRING adoration ample and most excellent, hymn, offerings, to the watchful Twain, the bountiful, your sweetest to the bounteous Ones. Sovrans adored with streams of oil and praised at every sacrifice. Their high imperial might may nowhere be assailed, ne’er may their Godhead be assailed.

1.136.2

अद॑र्शि गा॒तुरु॒रवे॒ वरी॑यसी॒ पन्था॑ ऋ॒तस्य॒ सम॑यंस्त र॒श्मिभि॒श्चक्षु॒र्भग॑स्य र॒श्मिभि॑: | द्यु॒क्षं मि॒त्रस्य॒ साद॑नमर्य॒म्णो वरु॑णस्य च | अथा॑ दधाते बृ॒हदु॒क्थ्यं १ वय॑ उप॒स्तुत्यं॑ बृ॒हद् वय॑: ||

For the broad Sun was seen a path more widely laid, the path of holy law hath been maintained with rays, the eye with Bhaga's rays of light. Firm-set in heaven is Mitra's home, and Aryaman's and Varuṇa's. Thence they give forth great vital strength which merits praise, high power of life that men shall praise.

1.136.3

ज्योति॑ष्मती॒मदि॑तिं धार॒यत्क्षि॑तिं॒ स्व॑र्वती॒मा स॑चेते दि॒वेदि॑वे जागृ॒वांसा॑ दि॒वेदि॑वे | ज्योति॑ष्मत् क्ष॒त्रमा॑शाते आदि॒त्या दानु॑न॒स्पती॑ | मि॒त्रस्तयो॒र्वरु॑णो यात॒यज्ज॑नो ऽर्य॒मा या॑त॒यज्ज॑नः ||

With Aditi the luminous, the celestial, upholder of the people, come ye day by day, ye who watch sleepless, day by day. Resplendent might have ye obtained, Ādityas, Lords of liberal gifts. Movers of men, mild both, are Mitra, Varuṇa, mover of men is Aryaman.

1.136.5

अ॒यं मि॒त्राय॒ वरु॑णाय॒ शंत॑म॒: सोमो॑ भूत्वव॒पाने॒ष्वाभ॑गो दे॒वो दे॒वेष्वाभ॑गः | तं दे॒वासो॑ जुषेरत॒ विश्वे॑ अ॒द्य स॒जोष॑सः | तथा॑ राजाना करथो॒ यदीम॑ह॒ ऋता॑वाना॒ यदीम॑हे ॥ यो मि॒त्राय॒ वरु॑णा॒यावि॑ध॒ज्जनो॑ऽन॒र्वाणं॒ तं परि॑ पातो॒ अंह॑सो दा॒श्वांसं॒ मर्त॒मंह॑सः | तम॑र्य॒माभि र॑क्षत्यृजू॒यन्त॒मनु॑ व्र॒तम् | उ॒क्थैर्य ए॑नोः परि॒भूष॑ति व्र॒तं स्तोमै॑रा॒भूष॑ति व्र॒तम् ||

This Soma be most sweet to Mitra, Varuṇa: he in the drinking-feasts, shall have a share thereof, sharing, a God, among the Gods. May all the Gods of one accord accept it joyfully to-day. Therefore do ye, O Kings, accomplish what we ask, ye Righteous Ones, whate’er we ask.

1.136.6

नमो॑ दि॒वे बृ॑ह॒ते रोद॑सीभ्यां मि॒त्राय॑ वोचं॒ वरु॑णाय मी॒ह्लुषे॑ सुमृळी॒काय॑ मी॒ह्लुषे॑ | इन्द्र॑म॒ग्निमुप॑ स्तुहि द्यु॒क्षम॑र्य॒मणं॒ भग॑म् | ज्योग्जीव॑न्तः प्र॒जया॑ सचेमहि॒ सोम॑स्यो॒ती स॑चेमहि ||

Whoso, with worship serves Mitra and Varuṇa, him guard ye carefully, uninjured, from distress, guard from distress the liberal man. Aryaman guards him well who acts uprightly following his law, Who beautifies their service with his lauds, who makes it beautiful with songs of praise.

1.136.7

ऊ॒ती दे॒वानां॑ व॒यमिन्द्र॑वन्तो मंसी॒महि॒ स्वय॑शसो म॒रुद्भि॑: | अ॒ग्निर्मि॒त्रो वरु॑ण॒: शर्म॑ यंस॒न् तद॑श्याम म॒घवा॑नो व॒यं च॑ ||

Worship will I profess to lofty Dyaus, to Heaven and Earth, to Mitra and to bounteous Varuṇa, the Bounteous, the Compassionate. Praise Indra, praise thou Agni, praise Bhaga and heavenly Aryaman. Long may we live and have attendant progeny, have progeny with Soma's help.
