Sukta 9
शं नो मित्रः शं वरुणः शं विवस्वांछमन्तकः । उत्पाताः पार्थिवान्तरिक्षाः शं नो दिविचरा ग्रहाः
śáṃ no mitráḥ śáṃ váruṇaḥ śáṃ vivásvāṃś śám ántakaḥ | utpātā́ḥ pārthivā́ntárikṣā́ḥ śáṃ no divícarā́ gráhā́ḥ
Weal be to us from Mitra, weal from Varuṇa; weal from Vivasvant, and weal from Antaka. The portents, terrestrial and of mid-air—may the heaven-roaming Seizers be weal to us.
मित्र से हमें कल्याण हो, वरुण से कल्याण; विवस्वान से कल्याण, और अन्तक से भी कल्याण। जो उत्पात—पार्थिव और अन्तरिक्षीय—हैं, तथा जो दिवि-चर ग्रह (आकस्मिक पकड़ने वाले/सीज़र) हैं, वे सब हमारे लिए कल्याणकारी हों।
