Sukta 7.64
Vasiṣṭha
Mitra–Varuṇa with Aryaman (Ādityas)
Triṣṭubh
Vasishtha ne is mantra mein Mitra-Varuna aur Aryaman ko bulaya hai. Ye teeno Aditya hain jo duniya ka kaam theek se chalate hain. Aasman, dharti aur beech ki jagah ye sab jagah hain. Rishi kehta hai ki ye shaktiyan hamein sahi raasta dikhayein. Humari puja sweekar karein aur dushmano ko door bhagayein. Hamesha achha karein aur humare dimag ko sahi goal tak pahunchein.
Mantra 1
दिवि क्षयन्ता रजसः पृथिव्यां प्र वां घृतस्य निर्णिजो ददीरन् । हव्यं नो मित्रो अर्यमा सुजातो राजा सुक्षत्रो वरुणो जुषन्त ॥
Yeh devta aasman mein rehte hain aur dharti pe bhi. Unhone roshni ke kapde khol diye hain. Mitra aur Aryaman ache ghar ke hain aur Varun raja hai. Woh log hamare bhog se khush hon aur hamari puja qubool karein.
Mantra 2
आ राजाना मह ऋतस्य गोपा सिन्धुपती क्षत्रिया यातमर्वाक् । इळां नो मित्रावरुणोत वृष्टिमव दिव इन्वतं जीरदानू ॥
Aye dono raja, bade dharam ke rakhwale, paani ke malik, raj ke swami, hamare paas aao. Hamein wo shakti do jo khana aur soch dono deta hai. Aasman se baarish bhi bhejo. Mitra aur Varun, tum jo hamesha dete ho, upar wala paani hamare jeevan mein utarne do.
Mantra 3
मित्रस्तन्नो वरुणो देवो अर्यः प्र साधिष्ठेभिः पथिभिर्नयन्तु । ब्रवद्यथा न आदरिः सुदास इषा मदेम सह देवगोपाः ॥
Mitra aur Varun, jo bade devta hain, woh hamein sahi raaste pe le chalein. Aise chalein ki koi dushman hamare paas na a sake. Hamein khush rehne do, khana milta rahe, aur devta hamari hifazat karte rahein.
Mantra 4
यो वां गर्तं मनसा तक्षदेतमूर्ध्वां धीतिं कृणवद्धारयच्च । उक्षेथां मित्रावरुणा घृतेन ता राजाना सुक्षितीस्तर्पयेथाम् ॥
Jo koi tumhare liye apne mann se baithne ki jagah banata hai, aur apni soch ko upar uthata hai, use pakad ke rakhta hai, Mitra aur Varun, tum uspe ghee jaisa chamakdaar paani daal do. Dono raja, uske ghar ko shanti aur khushali do.
Mantra 5
एष स्तोमो वरुण मित्र तुभ्यं सोमः शुक्रो न वायवेऽयामि । अविष्टं धियो जिगृतं पुरंधीर्यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः ॥
Yeh stotra main tumhe de raha hoon, Varun aur Mitra, jaise chamakta hua Som ras Vayu ke liye nikalta hai, waise hi main yeh laaya hoon. Hamari soch ko apna lo, jo kuch chahti hai woh mile. Tum hamesha hamari hifazat karo aur achha rakho.
The hymn primarily praises Mitra and Varuṇa, paired Ādityas who uphold cosmic and moral order, and it also invokes Aryaman as a noble Āditya linked with rightful companionship and social harmony.
It asks them to accept the offering, guide the worshipper forward on the best paths, keep enemies and harm away, strengthen inspired thought, and grant continual svasti (well-being).
Mitra–Varuṇa are Vedic guardians of ṛta—truth, law, and proper order—so the hymn naturally frames life as a journey that succeeds when guided by their most effective paths and protected from disorder.
