को नु वां मित्रास्तुतो वरुणो वा तनूनाम् । तत्सु वामेषते मतिरत्रिभ्य एषते मतिः ॥
Transliteration
kó nú vāṃ mitrā́stuto váruṇo vā tanū́nām | tát su vām éṣate matír átribhya éṣate matíḥ ||
Translation
Who now can be left unpraised of you—Mitra, or Varuṇa—in the workings of our embodied being? Therefore toward you indeed the thought-impulse presses; from the Atris this aspiring mind presses toward you.
