Chapter I

HYMN 8 Mitra, Varuna, Aryaman

1

Soon as the Sun hath risen I sing to you, to Mitra, Varuna,
And Aryaman who slays the foe.

2

With wealth of gold may this my song bring unmolested might; may this,
Sages! obtain the sacrifice!

3

May we be thine, God Varuna, and with our princes, Mitra, thine:
May we gain food and heavenly light!
