Rigveda Samhita — Mandala 1 — Chapter 152
RV 1 152.1
युवꣳ वस्त्राणि पीवसा वसाथे युवोर् अच्छिद्रा मन्तवो ह सर्गाः । अवातिरतम् अनृतानि विश्व ऋतेन मित्रावरुणा सचेथे
yuvaṁ vastrāṇi pīvasā vasāthe yuvor acchidrā mantavo ha sargāḥ | avātiratam anṛtāni viśva ṛtena mitrāvaruṇā sacethe
You two clothe yourselves in garments of fat; your intentions, your outpourings, are without a flaw. You have put down all untruths: with ṛta, Mitra-Varuṇa, you two keep company.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith
THE robes which ye put on abound with fatness: uninterrupted courses are your counsels. All falsehood, Mitra-Varuṇa! ye conquer, and closely cleave unto the Law Eternal.
— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1896)
RV 1 152.2
एतच् चन त्वो वि चिकेतद् एषाꣳ सत्यो मन्त्रः कविशस्त ऋघावान् । त्रिरश्रिꣳ हन्ति चतुरश्रिर् उग्रो देवनिदो ह प्रथमा अजूर्यन्
etac cana tvo vi ciketad eṣāṁ satyo mantraḥ kaviśasta ṛghāvān | triraśriṁ hanti caturaśrir ugro devanido ha prathamā ajūryan
Not even this does one or another of them discern: the true formula, uttered by the seer, thrusting. The fierce four-cornered one slays the three-cornered; the revilers of the gods were the first to grow old.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith
This might of theirs hath no one comprehended. True is the crushing word the sage hath uttered, The fearful four-edged bolt smites down the three-edged, and those who hate the Gods first fall and perish.
— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1896)
RV 1 152.3
अपाद् एति प्रथमा पद्वतीनाꣳ कस् तद् वाम् मित्रावरुणा चिकेत । गर्भो भारम् भरत्य् आ चिद् अस्य ऋतम् पिपर्त्य् अनृतꣳ नि तारीत्
apād eti prathamā padvatīnāṁ kas tad vām mitrāvaruṇā ciketa | garbho bhāram bharaty ā cid asya ṛtam piparty anṛtaṁ ni tārīt
Footless she goes, first of the footed ones — who has discerned that of you, Mitra-Varuṇa? The embryo indeed carries this one's burden; she fulfils ṛta, she puts down untruth.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith
The Footless Maid precedeth footed creatures. Who marketh, Mitra-Varuṇa, this your doing? The Babe Unborn supporteth this world's burthen, fuIfilleth Law and overcometh falsehood.
— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1896)
RV 1 152.4
प्रयन्तम् इत् परि जारꣳ कनीनाम् पश्यामसि नोपनिपद्यमानम् । अनवपृग्णा वितता वसानम् प्रियम् मित्रस्य वरुणस्य धाम
prayantam it pari jāraṁ kanīnām paśyāmasi nopanipadyamānam | anavapṛgṇā vitatā vasānam priyam mitrasya varuṇasya dhāma
We look upon the lover of the maidens going forth, never lying down (with them), wearing the outstretched, unsundered (garment) — the dear dhāman of Mitra and Varuṇa.

We look on him the darling of the Maidens, always advancing, never falling downward, Wearing inseparable, wide-spread raiment, Mitra's and Varuṇa's delightful glory.

RV 1 152.5
अनश्वो जातो अनभीशुर् अर्वा कनिक्रदत् पतयद् ऊर्ध्वसानुः । अचित्तम् ब्रह्म जुजुषुर् युवानः प्र मित्रे धाम वरुणे गृणन्तः
anaśvo jāto anabhīśur arvā kanikradat patayad ūrdhvasānuḥ | acittam brahma jujuṣur yuvānaḥ pra mitre dhāma varuṇe gṛṇantaḥ
Born without a horse, without reins, (yet) a courser, neighing, flying, with back held high: the young men have taken pleasure in the unthought-of formula, proclaiming the dhāman in Mitra, in Varuṇa.
AI translation rendered from the Sanskrit, not a published edition — the model flagged this verse as uncertain
Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith
Unbridled Courser, horn but not of horses, neighing he flieth on with back uplifted. The youthful love mystery thought-surpassing, praising in Mitra-Varuṇa, its glory.
— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1896)
RV 1 152.6
आ धेनवो मामतेयम् अवन्तीर् ब्रह्मप्रियम् पीपयन् सस्मिन्न् ऊधन् । पित्वो भिक्षेत वयुनानि विद्वान् आसाविवासन्न् अदितिम् उरुष्येत्
ā dhenavo māmateyam avantīr brahmapriyam pīpayan sasminn ūdhan | pitvo bhikṣeta vayunāni vidvān āsāvivāsann aditim uruṣyet
Let the favouring milch-cows make the son of Mamatā, dear to the formula, swell in the same udder. Knowing the (ritual) times, let him beg for food; seeking with his mouth to win (her), let him gain room with Aditi.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith
May the milch-kine who favour Mâmateya prosper in this world him who loves devotion. May he, well skilled in rites, be food, and calling Aditi with his lips give us assistance.

RV 1 152.7
आ वाम् मित्रावरुणा हव्यजुष्टिꣳ नमसा देवाव् अवसा ववृत्याम् । अस्माकम् ब्रह्म पृतनासु सह्या अस्माकꣳ वृष्टिर् दिव्या सुपारा
ā vām mitrāvaruṇā havyajuṣṭiṁ namasā devāv avasā vavṛtyām | asmākam brahma pṛtanāsu sahyā asmākaṁ vṛṣṭir divyā supārā
Mitra-Varuṇa, may I turn you two gods hither with homage, with aid, to the enjoyment of the oblation. May our formula prevail in the battles, ours be the heavenly rain that brings us safely through.
