उत नो देवावश्विना शुभस्पती धामभिर्मित्रावरुणा उरुष्यताम् । महः स राय एषतेऽति धन्वेव दुरिता ॥

utá no devā́vaśvínā śubhás patī dhā́mabhir mitrā́váruṇā uruṣyatām | maháḥ sá rāyá eṣate ’tí dhánveva duritā́ ||

And may the divine Aśvins, lords of the luminous felicities, and Mitra-Varuṇa protect us by their powers of established light; then the great fullness of being presses forward and crosses beyond the difficulties as one crosses a wide barren stretch.
