Rigveda Samhita — Mandala 7 — Chapter 85

RV 7 85.1

पुनीषे वाम् अरक्षसम् मनीषाꣳ सोमम् इन्द्राय वरुणाय जुह्वत् । घृतप्रतीकाम् उषसꣳ न देवीꣳ ता नो यामन्न् उरुष्यताम् अभीके

punīṣe vām arakṣasam manīṣāṁ somam indrāya varuṇāya juhvat | ghṛtapratīkām uṣasaṁ na devīṁ tā no yāmann uruṣyatām abhīke

I purify for you two a thought free of demons, pouring soma for Indra, for Varuṇa — (a thought) ghee-faced like the goddess Dawn. May those two keep us wide (of danger) on our course, at the encounter.

RV 7 85.2

स्पर्धन्ते वा उ देवहूये अत्र येषु ध्वजेषु दिद्यवः पतन्ति । युवꣳ ताꣳ इन्द्रावरुणाव् अमित्रान् हतम् पराचः शर्वा विषूचः

spardhante vā u devahūye atra yeṣu dhvajeṣu didyavaḥ patanti | yuvaṁ tām̐ indrāvaruṇāv amitrān hatam parācaḥ śarvā viṣūcaḥ

Indeed they contend here at the calling of the gods, in whose banners the missiles fall. You two, Indra and Varuṇa, strike those foes down with your arrow, turned away and scattered.

RV 7 85.3

आपश् चिद् धि स्वयशसः सदःसु देवीर् इन्द्रꣳ वरुणꣳ देवता धुः । कृष्टीर् अन्यो धारयति प्रविक्ता वृत्राण्य् अन्यो अप्रतीनि हन्ति

āpaś cid dhi svayaśasaḥ sadaḥsu devīr indraṁ varuṇaṁ devatā dhuḥ | kṛṣṭīr anyo dhārayati praviktā vṛtrāṇy anyo apratīni hanti

For even the waters, self-glorious goddesses, set Indra and Varuṇa in their seats as the divinity. The one upholds the peoples, set apart; the other slays the obstacles that have no match.

RV 7 85.4

स सुक्रतुर् ऋतचिद् अस्तु होता य आदित्य शवसा वाꣳ नमस्वान् । आववर्तद् अवसे वाꣳ हविष्मान् असद् इत् स सुविताय प्रयस्वान्

sa sukratur ṛtacid astu hotā ya āditya śavasā vāṁ namasvān | āvavartad avase vāṁ haviṣmān asad it sa suvitāya prayasvān

Let him be a hotṛ of good resolve, discerning ṛta, who, O Āditya, is yours (both) with strength, bearing homage. With his oblation let him turn you two hither for help; with his offered fare he shall indeed be (set) for good going.

RV 7 85.5

इयम् इन्द्रꣳ वरुणम् अष्ट मे गीः प्रावत् तोके तनये तूतुजाना । सुरत्नासो देववीतिꣳ गमेम यूयम् पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः

iyam indraṁ varuṇam aṣṭa me gīḥ prāvat toke tanaye tūtujānā | suratnāso devavītiṁ gamema yūyam pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ

This song of mine has reached Indra and Varuṇa; hastening, it has furthered (us) in offspring and progeny. Rich in treasures may we come to the gods' feast. Do you protect us always with blessings.
