Devata: Praise of a patron’s bounty within Mitra–Varuṇa hymn-context; human patron (sūri) motif

अस्य स्तुषे महिमघस्य राधः सचा सनेम नहुषः सुवीराः । जनो यः पज्रेभ्यो वाजिनीवानश्वावतो रथिनो मह्यं सूरिः ॥

asyá stuṣe máhimaghasya rā́dhaḥ sácā sanema náhuṣaḥ su-vīrā́ḥ | jáno yáḥ pajrébhyo vājinī́vān aśvā́vato rathíno máhyaṁ sū́riḥ ||

या महादात्याच्या या ‘राधस्’ (उदार दान) ची मी स्तुती करतो; हे नहुषा! सवीरांसह आपण ते एकत्र जिंकू या. जो सूरी—वाजिनीवान्—पज्रांना अश्व व रथ देतो, तो तेजस्वी दाता तेच सामर्थ्य मला ही वाढवो—विजयी गतीची साधने आणि आत्म्याला पुढे नेणारी शक्ती.
