2.29.1

धृत॑व्रता॒ आदि॑त्या॒ इषि॑रा आ॒रे मत् क॑र्त रह॒सूरि॒वाग॑: | शृ॒ण्व॒तो वो॒ वरु॑ण॒ मित्र॒ देवा॑ भ॒द्रस्य॑ वि॒द्वाँ अव॑से हुवे वः ||

UPHOLDERS of the Law, ye strong Ādityas, remove my sin like her who bears in secret. You, Varuṇa, Mitra and all Gods who listen, I call to help me, I who know your goodness.

2.29.2

यू॒यं दे॑वा॒: प्रम॑तिर्यू॒यमोजो॑ यू॒यं द्वेषां॑सि सनु॒तर्यु॑योत | अ॒भि॒क्ष॒त्तारो॑ अ॒भि च॒ क्षम॑ध्वम॒द्या च॑ नो मृ॒ळय॑ताप॒रं च॑ ||

Ye, Gods, are providence and ye are power: remove ye utterly all those who hate us. As givers of good things deal with us kindly: this day be gracious to us and hereafter.

2.29.3

किमू॒ नु व॑: कृणवा॒माप॑रेण॒ किं सने॑न वसव॒ आप्ये॑न | यू॒यं नो॑ मित्रावरुणादिते च स्व॒स्तिमि॑न्द्रामरुतो दधात ||

What service may we do you with our future, what service, Vasus, with our ancient friendship? O Aditi, and Varuṇa and Mitra, Indra and Maruts, make us well and happy.

2.29.4

ह॒ये दे॑वा यू॒यमिदा॒पय॑: स्थ॒ ते मृ॑ळत॒ नाध॑मानाय॒ मह्य॑म् | मा वो॒ रथो॑ मध्यम॒वाळृ॒ते भू॒न्मा यु॒ष्माव॑त्स्वा॒पिषु॑ श्रमिष्म ||

Ye, O ye Gods, are verily our kinsmen as such be kind to me who now implore you. Let not your car come slowly to our worship: of kinsmen such as you ne’er let us weary.

2.29.5

प्र व॒ एको॑ मिमय॒ भूर्यागो॒ यन्मा॑ पि॒तेव॑ कित॒वं श॑शा॒स | आ॒रे पाशा॑ आ॒रे अ॒घानि॑ देवा॒ मा माधि॑ पु॒त्रे विमि॑व ग्रभीष्ट ||

I singly have sinned many a sin against you, and ye chastised me as a sire the gambler. Far be your nets, far, Gods, be mine offences: seize me not like a bird upon her offspring.

2.29.6

अ॒र्वाञ्चो॑ अ॒द्या भ॑वता यजत्रा॒ आ वो॒ हार्दि॒ भय॑मानो व्ययेयम् | त्राध्वं॑ नो देवा नि॒जुरो॒ वृक॑स्य॒ त्राध्वं॑ क॒र्ताद॑व॒पदो॑ यजत्राः ||

Turn yourselves hitherward this day, ye Holy, that fearing in my heart I may approach you. Protect us, God; let not the wolf destroy us. Save us, ye Holy, from the pit and falling.

2.29.7

माहं म॒घोनो॑ वरुण प्रि॒यस्य॑ भूरि॒दाव्न॒ आ वि॑दं॒ शून॑मा॒पेः | मा रा॒यो रा॑जन् त्सु॒यमा॒दव॑ स्थां बृ॒हद् व॑देम वि॒दथे॑ सु॒वीरा॑: ||

May I not live, O Varuṇa, to witness my wealthy, liberal, dear friend's destitution. King, may I never lack well-ordered riches. Loud may we speak, with heroes, in assembly.
