7.62.1

उत्सूर्यो॑ बृ॒हद॒र्चींष्य॑श्रेत्पु॒रु विश्वा॒ जनि॑म॒ मानु॑षाणाम् | स॒मो दि॒वा द॑दृशे॒ रोच॑मान॒: क्रत्वा॑ कृ॒तः सुकृ॑तः क॒र्तृभि॑र्भूत् ||

SURYA hath sent aloft his beams of splendour o’er all the tribes of men in countless places. Together with the heaven he shines apparent, formed by his Makers well with power and wisdom.

7.62.2

स सू॑र्य॒ प्रति॑ पु॒रो न॒ उद्गा॑ ए॒भिः स्तोमे॑भिरेत॒शेभि॒रेवै॑: | प्र नो॑ मि॒त्राय॒ वरु॑णाय वो॒चोऽना॑गसो अर्य॒म्णे अ॒ग्नये॑ च ||

So hast thou mounted up before us, Sūrya, through these our praises, with fleet dappled horses. Declare us free from all offence to Mitra, and Varuṇa, and Aryaman, and Agni.

7.62.3

वि न॑: स॒हस्रं॑ शु॒रुधो॑ रदन्त्वृ॒तावा॑नो॒ वरु॑णो मि॒त्रो अ॒ग्निः | यच्छ॑न्तु च॒न्द्रा उ॑प॒मं नो॑ अ॒र्कमा न॒: कामं॑ पूपुरन्तु॒ स्तवा॑नाः ||

May holy Agni, Varuṇa, and Mitra send down their riches upon us in thousands. May they, the Bright Ones, make our praise-song perfect, and, when we laud them, grant us all our wishes.

7.62.4

द्यावा॑भूमी अदिते॒ त्रासी॑थां नो॒ ये वां॑ ज॒ज्ञुः सु॒जनि॑मान ऋष्वे | मा हेळे॑ भूम॒ वरु॑णस्य वा॒योर्मा मि॒त्रस्य॑ प्रि॒यत॑मस्य नृ॒णाम् ||

O undivided Heaven and Earth, preserve us, us, Lofty Ones! your nobIy-born descendants. Let us not anger Varuṇa, nor Vāyu, nor him, the dearest Friend of mortals, Mitra.

7.62.5

प्र बा॒हवा॑ सिसृतं जी॒वसे॑ न॒ आ नो॒ गव्यू॑तिमुक्षतं घृ॒तेन॑ | आ नो॒ जने॑ श्रवयतं युवाना श्रु॒तं मे॑ मित्रावरुणा॒ हवे॒मा ||

Stretch forth your arms and let our lives be lengthened: with fatness dew the pastures of our cattle. Ye Youthful, make us famed among the people: hear, Mitra-Varuṇa, these mine invocations.

7.62.6

नू मि॒त्रो वरु॑णो अर्य॒मा न॒स्त्मने॑ तो॒काय॒ वरि॑वो दधन्तु | सु॒गा नो॒ विश्वा॑ सु॒पथा॑नि सन्तु यू॒यं पा॑त स्व॒स्तिभि॒: सदा॑ नः ||

Now Mitra, Varuṇa, Aryaman vouchsafe us freedom and room, for us and for our children. May we find paths all fair and good to travel. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
