Mantra 2
Sukta 29
सचेतसौ द्रुह्वणो यौ नुदेथे प्र सत्यावानमवथो भरेषु । यौ गच्छथो नृचक्षसौ बभ्रुणा सुतं तौ नो मुञ्चतमंहसः
sácetasau drúhvaṇo yáu nudéthe prá satyā́vānam ávatho bháreṣu | yáu gácchatho nṛcákṣasau babhrúṇā sutáṃ táu no muñcatam áṃhasaḥ
Concordant ye are, who thrust away the treacherous; ye succour the man of truth in struggles. Ye who go as watchers over men with Babhru to the pressed draught— from anguish and from sin release ye us.
