Sukta 2

मा त्वा॑ दभन् परि॒यान्त॑मा॒जिं स्व॒स्ति दु॒र्गां अति॑ याहि॒ शीभ॑म्। दिवं॑ च सूर्य पृथि॒वीं च॑ दे॒वी म॑होरा॒त्रे वि॒मिमा॑नो॒ यदेषि॑

Sanskrit recitationAtharva Veda 13.2.5

mā́ tvā dabhān pariyā́ntam ājím svásti durgā́m áti yāhi śībhám | dívaṁ ca sū́rya pṛthivī́ṁ ca devī́ mahórātré vimímāno yád éṣi ||

Let none assail thee as thou goest circling on thy course: in welfare pass beyond the perilous strait, swiftly. Heaven and Earth, O Sūrya—(thou) divine—measuring out the great Day and Night, when thou goest.

તારા માર્ગમાં પરિભ્રમણ કરતાં તને કોઈ દભે નહીં (હાનિ ન કરે). સ્વસ્તિ સાથે દુર્ગમ, ભયંકર સંકટને વટાવી જા—ઝડપથી. હે સૂર્ય, દ્યૌ અને પૃથ્વી—દિવ્ય—મહોરાત્રિ (મહાન દિવસ-રાત)નું માપ ગોઠવતો, જ્યારે તું ગતિ કરે છે.
