Rig Veda 9.73.3: Mandala 9, Sukta 73, Mantra 3

Sukta 9.73

Rishi: Unknown/uncertain in provided input (Soma Pavamāna corpus; traditionally attributed within the Pavamāna hymn families)
Devata: Soma Pavamāna with strong invocation of Varuṇa and Ṛta (purifying Soma as the power that clarifies Vāc and guards vrata)
Chandas: Jagatī (probable for RV 9.73; verify against a metrical count in a critical edition)

पवित्रवन्तः परि वाचमासते पितैषां प्रत्नो अभि रक्षति व्रतम् । महः समुद्रं वरुणस्तिरो दधे धीरा इच्छेकुर्धरुणेष्वारभम् ॥

Recitation with translationRig Veda 9.73.3

pavitravantaḥ pári vā́cam āsate pitā́ eṣā́m pratnó abhí rakṣati vratám | máhaḥ samudráṃ váruṇas tiró dadhe dhīrā́ ícchekur dharuṇéṣv ārabhám ||

ಪವಿತ್ರೀಕರಣದ ಶಕ್ತಿಯಿಂದ ತುಂಬಿದವರು ಪ್ರೇರಿತ ವಾಣಿಯ ಸುತ್ತ ಕುಳಿತುಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಅವರೊಳಗಿನ ಪ್ರಾಚೀನ ಪಿತೃನು ಅವರ ಋತ-ವ್ರತವನ್ನು ಕಾಪಾಡುತ್ತಾನೆ. ವರುಣನು ಮಹಾ ‘ವಸ್ತ’ದ ಸಮುದ್ರದ ಮೇಲೆ, ಇವತ್ತಂತೆ, ಒಂದು ಆವರಣವನ್ನು ಇಡುತ್ತಾನೆ; ಧೀರರಾದ ಪ್ರಕಾಶಿತ ಅನ್ವೇಷಕರು ಆಧಾರಧಾರಣೆಗಳನ್ನು ಹಿಡಿಯಲು ತವಕಿಸುತ್ತಾರೆ.
