Rigveda Samhita — Mandala 1 — Chapter 136

RV 1 136.1

प्र सु ज्येष्ठꣳ निचिराभ्याम् बृहन् नमो हव्यम् मतिम् भरता मृऴयद्भ्याꣳ स्वादिष्ठम् मृऴयद्भ्याम् । ता सम्राजा घृतासुती यज्ञे-यज्ञ उपस्तुता । अथैनोः क्षत्रꣳ न कुतश् चनाधृषे देवत्वꣳ नू चिद् आधृषे

pra su jyeṣṭhaṁ nicirābhyām bṛhan namo havyam matim bharatā mṛḻayadbhyāṁ svādiṣṭham mṛḻayadbhyām | tā samrājā ghṛtāsutī yajñe-yajña upastutā | athainoḥ kṣatraṁ na kutaś canādhṛṣe devatvaṁ nū cid ādhṛṣe

Bring forth, indeed, the foremost lofty homage, the oblation, the thought, to the two watchful ones, the sweetest (thought) to the two gracious ones. Those two universal kings, with ghee for their draught, are praised at sacrifice after sacrifice; and so their sovereignty is not to be assailed from anywhere, their godhead never to be assailed.

RV 1 136.2

अदर्शि गातुर् उरवे वरीयसी पन्था ऋतस्य सम् अयꣳस्त रश्मिभिश् चक्षुर् भगस्य रश्मिभिः । द्युक्षम् मित्रस्य सादनम् अर्यम्णो वरुणस्य च । अथा दधाते बृहद् उक्थ्य१ꣳ वय उपस्तुत्यम् बृहद् वयः

adarśi gātur urave varīyasī panthā ṛtasya sam ayaṁsta raśmibhiś cakṣur bhagasya raśmibhiḥ | dyukṣam mitrasya sādanam aryamṇo varuṇasya ca | athā dadhāte bṛhad ukthya1ṁ vaya upastutyam bṛhad vayaḥ

A wider way has come into sight for the broad one; the path of ṛta has been held together by the rays, the eye of Bhaga by the rays. Heaven-dwelling is the seat of Mitra, of Aryaman, and of Varuṇa; and they two hold a great vigour worthy of the recitation, a great vigour to be praised.

RV 1 136.3

ज्योतिष्मतीम् अदितिꣳ धारयत्क्षितिꣳ स्वर्वतीम् आ सचेते दिवे-दिवे जागृवाꣳसा दिवे-दिवे । ज्योतिष्मत् क्षत्रम् आशाते आदित्या दानुनस् पती । मित्रस् तयोर् वरुणो यातयज्जनो ऽर्यमा यातयज्जनः

jyotiṣmatīm aditiṁ dhārayatkṣitiṁ svarvatīm ā sacete dive-dive jāgṛvāṁsā dive-dive | jyotiṣmat kṣatram āśāte ādityā dānunas patī | mitras tayor varuṇo yātayajjano 'ryamā yātayajjanaḥ

Light-bearing Aditi, upholder of the dwelling-place, rich in sunlight — the two attend her day by day, wakeful day by day. They have obtained a light-bearing dominion, the two Ādityas, lords of the gift: Mitra of these two, and Varuṇa who marshals the people, Aryaman who marshals the people.

RV 1 136.4

अयम् मित्राय वरुणाय शꣳतमः सोमो भूत्व् अवपानेष्व् आभगो देवो देवेष्व् आभगः । तꣳ देवासो जुषेरत विश्वे अद्य सजोषसः । तथा राजाना करथो यद् ईमह ऋतावाना यद् ईमहे

ayam mitrāya varuṇāya śaṁtamaḥ somo bhūtv avapāneṣv ābhago devo deveṣv ābhagaḥ | taṁ devāso juṣerata viśve adya sajoṣasaḥ | tathā rājānā karatho yad īmaha ṛtāvānā yad īmahe

May this soma be most beneficent for Mitra, for Varuṇa, a sharer at the drinking-feasts, a god sharing among the gods. May all the gods take pleasure in it today, of one accord. So do, O you two kings, as we ask, O you two possessors of ṛta, as we ask.

RV 1 136.5

यो मित्राय वरुणायाविधज् जनो ऽनर्वाणꣳ तम् परि पातो अꣳहसो दाश्वाꣳसम् मर्तम् अꣳहसः । तम् अर्यमाभि रक्षत्य् ऋजूयन्तम् अनु व्रतम् । उक्थैर् य एनोः परिभूषति व्रतꣳ स्तोमैर् आभूषति व्रतम्

yo mitrāya varuṇāyāvidhaj jano 'narvāṇaṁ tam pari pāto aṁhaso dāśvāṁsam martam aṁhasaḥ | tam aryamābhi rakṣaty ṛjūyantam anu vratam | ukthair ya enoḥ paribhūṣati vrataṁ stomair ābhūṣati vratam

The man who has ministered to Mitra and to Varuṇa — him, unassailed, they guard all round from distress, the giving mortal from distress. Aryaman guards him who goes straight after (their) ordinance; (him) who with utterances tends the ordinance of these two, who with praises attends upon the ordinance.

RV 1 136.6

नमो दिवे बृहते रोदसीभ्याम् मित्राय वोचꣳ वरुणाय मीऴ्हुषे सुमृऴीकाय मीऴ्हुषे । इन्द्रम् अग्निम् उप स्तुहि द्युक्षम् अर्यमणम् भगम् । ज्योग् जीवन्तः प्रजया सचेमहि सोमस्योती सचेमहि

namo dive bṛhate rodasībhyām mitrāya vocaṁ varuṇāya mīḻhuṣe sumṛḻīkāya mīḻhuṣe | indram agnim upa stuhi dyukṣam aryamaṇam bhagam | jyog jīvantaḥ prajayā sacemahi somasyotī sacemahi

Homage to Heaven, to the lofty one, to the two worlds; to Mitra have I spoken, to Varuṇa the bounteous, to the very gracious bounteous one. Praise Indra, Agni, heaven-dwelling Aryaman, Bhaga. Living long, may we be joined with offspring, may we be joined with the help of soma.

RV 1 136.7

ऊती देवानाꣳ वयम् इन्द्रवन्तो मꣳसीमहि स्वयशसो मरुद्भिः । अग्निर् मित्रो वरुणः शर्म यꣳसन् तद् अश्याम मघवानो वयꣳ च

ūtī devānāṁ vayam indravanto maṁsīmahi svayaśaso marudbhiḥ | agnir mitro varuṇaḥ śarma yaṁsan tad aśyāma maghavāno vayaṁ ca

With the help of the gods may we, having Indra with us, be held in esteem, self-glorious with the Maruts. May Agni, Mitra, Varuṇa extend shelter: may we and our patrons attain that.
