5.69.1

त्री रो॑च॒ना व॑रुण॒ त्रीँरु॒त द्यून् त्रीणि॑ मित्र धारयथो॒ रजां॑सि | वा॒वृ॒धा॒नाव॒मतिं॑ क्ष॒त्रिय॒स्याऽनु॑ व्र॒तं रक्ष॑माणावजु॒र्यम् ||

THREE spheres of light, O Varuṇa, three heavens, three firmaments ye comprehend, O Mitra: Waxed strong, ye keep the splendour of dominion, guarding the Ordinance that lasts for ever.

5.69.2

इरा॑वतीर्वरुण धे॒नवो॑ वां॒ मधु॑मद् वां॒ सिन्ध॑वो मित्र दुह्रे | त्रय॑स्तस्थुर्वृष॒भास॑स्तिसृ॒णां धि॒षणा॑नां रेतो॒धा वि द्यु॒मन्त॑: ||

Ye, Varuṇa, have kine who yield refreshment; Mitra, your floods pour water full of sweetness. There stand the Three Steers, splendid in their brightness, who fill the three world-bowls with genial moisture.

5.69.3

प्रा॒तर्दे॒वीमदि॑तिं जोहवीमि म॒ध्यंदि॑न॒ उदि॑ता॒ सूर्य॑स्य | रा॒ये मि॑त्रावरुणा स॒र्वता॒तेळे॑ तो॒काय॒ तन॑याय॒ शं योः ||

I call at dawn on Aditi the Goddess, I call at noon and when the Sun is setting. I pray, O Mitra-Varuṇa, for safety, for wealth and progeny, in rest and trouble.

5.69.4

या ध॒र्तारा॒ रज॑सो रोच॒नस्यो॒तादि॒त्या दि॒व्या पार्थि॑वस्य | न वां॑ दे॒वा अ॒मृता॒ आ मि॑नन्ति व्र॒तानि॑ मित्रावरुणा ध्रु॒वाणि॑ ||

Ye who uphold the region, sphere of brightness, ye who support earth's realm Divine Ādityas, The Immortal Gods, O Varuṇa and Mitra, never impair your everlasting statutes.
