Who is your rescuer, O Vasus, who your protector? Heaven and Earth, Aditi, protect us! Varuṇa, Mitra, (protect us) from the stronger mortal! Who among you, O gods, sets free space at the rite?

They who will sing forth the ancient domains, when they (the Dawns) shine out — the unerring separators; the ordainers, the unaging, have ordained those (domains); with thought fixed on ṛta, the wondrous ones have shone.

व्य् अर्यमा वरुणश् चेति पन्थाम् इषस् पतिः सुवितꣳ गातुम् अग्निः । इन्द्राविष्णू नृवद् उ षु स्तवाना शर्म नो यन्तम् अमवद् वरूथम्

Aryaman and Varuṇa have made the path manifest; Agni, lord of refreshment, (has made manifest) the good passage. Indra and Viṣṇu, well praised in manly fashion, extend to us shelter, a forceful defence.

I have chosen the aid of Parvata, of the Maruts, of the god Trātṛ, of Bhaga. May the Lord guard us from alien distress; and may Mitra keep us wide (of harm) from that which comes from an ally.

Now let the two divine world-halves be praised, along with the serpent of the depths, with offerings belonging to the waters — as gain-seekers (make for) the sea at the crossing, the rivers whose roar is like the gharma's have opened up.

देवैर् नो देव्य् अदितिर् नि पातु देवस् त्राता त्रायताम् अप्रयुच्छन् । नहि मित्रस्य वरुणस्य धासिम् अर्हामसि प्रमियꣳ सान्व् अग्नेः

Let the goddess Aditi guard us together with the gods; let the god Trātṛ protect us, never faltering. For we must not (allow) the nourishment of Mitra and of Varuṇa, the back of Agni, to be destroyed.
