Transliteration

imā́ṃ vāṃ mitrā́varuṇā su-vṛktím iṣáṃ ná kṛṇve asurā́ navī́yaḥ | inó vā́m anyáḥ padavī́r ádabdho jánaṃ ca mitró yatati bruvāṇáḥ ||

Translation

O Mitra and Varuṇa, I fashion for you this well-woven utterance, a freshening impulse like a nourishing draught—new as befits you, O Lords of the inner sovereignty. One of you is the inviolate Path-finder who sets the tracks; and Mitra too, by the power of the word, disciplines and harmonizes the human multitude.
