Chapter I

HYMN 7 Mitra Varuna

1

Mitra and Varuna we call to drink the draught of Soma juice,
Those born endowed with holy strength.

2

Those who by Law uphold the Law, Lords of the shining light of Law,
Mitra I call, and Varuna.

3

Let Varuna be our chief defence, let Mitra guard us with all aids,
Both make us rich exceedingly!
