Rig Veda 4.55.1: Mandala 4, Sukta 55, Mantra 1
Sukta 4.55
को वस्त्राता वसवः को वरूता द्यावाभूमी अदिते त्रासीथां नः । सहीयसो वरुण मित्र मर्तात्को वोऽध्वरे वरिवो धाति देवाः ॥
ko vas trātā vasavaḥ ko varūtā dyāvābhūmī adite trāsīthāṃ naḥ | sahīyaso varuṇa mitra martāt ko vo 'dhvare varivo dhāti devāḥ ||
Siapakah pelindungmu, wahai para Vasu; siapakah benteng sejati bagimu? Wahai Langit dan Bumi, wahai Aditi, lindungilah kami. Dari insan fana yang menindas, wahai Varuṇa dan Mitra—siapakah di antara kalian, para dewa, yang dalam adhvara (kurban suci) menegakkan bagi kami kelapangan dan kebebasan?
