RV 2 29.1

धृतव्रता आदित्या इषिरा आरे मत् कर्त रहसूर् इवागः । शृण्वतो वो वरुण मित्र देवा भद्रस्य विद्वाꣳ अवसे हुवे वः

dhṛtavratā ādityā iṣirā āre mat karta rahasūr ivāgaḥ | śṛṇvato vo varuṇa mitra devā bhadrasya vidvām̐ avase huve vaḥ

O Ādityas who hold your vratas, O eager ones, put offence far from me, as does a woman who gives birth in secret. Since you hear, O Varuṇa, Mitra, gods, knowing what is auspicious I call on you for help.

यूयꣳ देवाः प्रमतिर् यूयम् ओजो यूयꣳ द्वेषाꣳसि सनुतर् युयोत । अभिक्षत्तारो अभि च क्षमध्वम् अद्या च नो मृऴयतापरꣳ च

You, O gods, are the foresight, you the might; drive the hatreds far away. As dispensers, be indulgent toward us, and be merciful to us today and hereafter.

What indeed shall we do for you with a later (gift)? what with an old kinship, O Vasus? You, Mitra and Varuṇa, and Aditi, and Indra with the Maruts—set well-being for us.

I, one alone, have transgressed much against you, since he chastised me as a father does a gambler. Far be the snares, far the evils, O gods; do not seize me on account of (my) son as (one seizes) a bird.

Let me not, Varuṇa, meet with the failing of a dear, much-giving, generous friend. Let me not, O king, fall away from well-controlled wealth. May we speak loudly in the assembly, rich in heroes.
