AV 7 118.1

मर्माणि ते वर्मणा छादयामि सोमस् त्वा राजामृतेनानु वस्ताम् । उरोर् वरीयो वरुणस् ते कृणोतु जयन्तं त्वानु देवा मदन्तु

marmāṇi te varmaṇā chādayāmi somas tvā rājāmṛtenānu vastām | uror varīyo varuṇas te kṛṇotu jayantaṃ tvānu devā madantu

I cover your vital points with armor; may king Soma clothe you with the deathless. May Varuṇa make for you wider than wide; may the gods rejoice after you as you conquer.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

Thy vital parts I cover with thine armour: with immortality King Soma clothe thee! Varuna give thee what is more than ample, and in thy triumph let the Gods be joyful.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1895–96)
