Mantra 7
Sukta 77
अपो वृत्रं वव्रिवांसं पराहन् प्रावत् ते वज्रं पृथिवी सचेताः । प्रार्णांसि समुद्रियाण्यैनोः पतिर्भवं छवसा शूर धृष्णो
apó vṛtráṃ vavrivā́ṃsaṃ párāhan prā́vat te vájraṃ pṛthivī́ sácetāḥ | prá arṇā́ṃsi samudríyāṇy ainoḥ pátir bhavaṃ chávāsā śūra dhṛ́ṣṇo
The Waters—Vṛtra who had encompassed them—he smote away; Earth, consenting, furthered for thee the bolt. Forth rushed the oceanic floods: be lord thereof by might, O hero, bold of heart.
जलों को घेर लेने वाले वृत्र को उसने दूर मार गिराया; पृथ्वी ने सहमत होकर तेरे लिए वज्र को आगे बढ़ाया। समुद्र-सम्बन्धी प्रचण्ड धाराएँ उमड़ पड़ीं; हे शूर, धृष्ट-हृदय, अपने तेज से उनका स्वामी बन।
