1. THREE spheres of light, O Varuna, three heavens, three firmaments ye comprehend, O Mitra:
     Waxed strong, ye keep the splendour of dominion, guarding the Ordinance that lasts for ever.
2. Ye, Varuna, have kine who yield refreshment; Mitra, your floods pour water full of sweetness.
     There stand the Three Steers, splendid in their brightness, who fill the three world-bowls with genial moisture.
3. I call at dawn on Aditi the Goddess, I call at noon and when the Sun is setting.
     I pray, O Mitra-Varuna, for safety, for wealth and progeny, in rest and trouble.
4. Ye who uphold the region, sphere of brightness, ye who support earth's realm Divine Adityas,
     The Immortal Gods, O Varuna and Mitra, never impair your everlasting statutes.
