Heaven and Earth, the first ones, are by ṛta there for the hearing, speaking truth, when the god, making mortals fit for sacrifice, sat down as hotṛ, turned toward (them), going to his own vital breath.

RV 10 12.2

देवो देवान् परिभूर् ऋतेन वहा नो हव्यम् प्रथमश् चिकित्वान् । धूमकेतुः समिधा भाऋजीको मन्द्रो होता नित्यो वाचा यजीयान्

A god encompassing the gods by ṛta — convey our oblation, you the first, the discerning one; smoke-bannered, gleaming with the kindling wood, gladdening, the constant hotṛ, the better sacrificer with his speech.

RV 10 12.3

स्वावृग् देवस्यामृतꣳ यदी गोर् अतो जातासो धारयन्त उर्वी । विश्वे देवा अनु तत् ते यजुर् गुर् दुहे यद् एनी दिव्यꣳ घृतꣳ वाः

svāvṛg devasyāmṛtaṁ yadī gor ato jātāso dhārayanta urvī | viśve devā anu tat te yajur gur duhe yad enī divyaṁ ghṛtaṁ vāḥ

Readily at hand is the god's immortal (draught) when it is of the cow; those born from it upheld the two wide (worlds). All the gods followed after that sacrificial word of yours, when the bright (cow) yields heavenly ghee as her water.

अर्चामि वाꣳ वर्धायापो घृतस्नू द्यावाभूमी शृणुतꣳ रोदसी मे । अहा यद् द्यावो ऽसुनीतिम् अयन् मध्वा नो अत्र पितरा शिशीताम्

I sing to you two for (your) increase — O you two that drip ghee — (and to) the waters; Heaven and Earth, you two world-halves, hear me. When the days and heavens went along the path of life, may the two parents here whet us with honey.

RV 10 12.5

किꣳ स्विन् नो राजा जगृहे कद् अस्याति व्रतꣳ चकृमा को वि वेद । मित्रश् चिद् धि ष्मा जुहुराणो देवाञ् छ्लोको न याताम् अपि वाजो अस्ति

kiṁ svin no rājā jagṛhe kad asyāti vrataṁ cakṛmā ko vi veda | mitraś cid dhi ṣmā juhurāṇo devāñ chloko na yātām api vājo asti

What of ours has the king seized? What transgression against his ordinance have we committed? Who knows it clearly? For even Mitra, leading the gods astray — as there is the call of travellers, so there is the prize.

RV 10 12.6

दुर्मन्त्व् अत्रामृतस्य नाम सलक्ष्मा यद् विषुरूपा भवाति । यमस्य यो मनवते सुमन्त्व् अग्ने तम् ऋष्व पाह्य् अप्रयुच्छन्

durmantv atrāmṛtasya nāma salakṣmā yad viṣurūpā bhavāti | yamasya yo manavate sumantv agne tam ṛṣva pāhy aprayucchan

Hard to comprehend here is the name of the immortal, when what bears the same mark becomes of a different form. Whoever thinks well upon that of Yama — him, O lofty Agni, protect, never neglecting (him).

यस्मिन् देवा विदथे मादयन्ते विवस्वतः सदने धारयन्ते । सूर्ये ज्योतिर् अदधुर् मास्य् अ१क्तून् परि द्योतनिꣳ चरतो अजस्रा

yasmin devā vidathe mādayante vivasvataḥ sadane dhārayante | sūrye jyotir adadhur māsy a1ktūn pari dyotaniṁ carato ajasrā

The gathering in which the gods take their delight, in which they take their stand in the seat of Vivasvat — they set the light in the sun, the nights in the moon; the two unaging ones move round about the shining.

RV 10 12.8

यस्मिन् देवा मन्मनि सꣳचरन्त्य् अपीच्ये३ न वयम् अस्य विद्म । मित्रो नो अत्रादितिर् अनागान् सविता देवो वरुणाय वोचत्

yasmin devā manmani saṁcaranty apīcye3 na vayam asya vidma | mitro no atrāditir anāgān savitā devo varuṇāya vocat

The hidden thought in which the gods move together — we do not know of it. May Mitra here, and Aditi, and the god Savitṛ declare us free of guilt to Varuṇa.

RV 10 12.9

श्रुधी नो अग्ने सदने सधस्थे युक्ष्वा रथम् अमृतस्य द्रवित्नुम् । आ नो वह रोदसी देवपुत्रे माकिर् देवानाम् अप भूर् इह स्याः

śrudhī no agne sadane sadhasthe yukṣvā ratham amṛtasya dravitnum | ā no vaha rodasī devaputre mākir devānām apa bhūr iha syāḥ

Hear us, Agni, in the seat, in the common abode; yoke the swift-running chariot of the immortal (one). Convey here to us the two world-halves whose sons are the gods; be in no way absent from the gods — be here.
