Rig Veda 1.136.1: Mandala 1, Sukta 136, Mantra 1

Sukta 1.136

Rishi: Gautama Rāhūgaṇa (traditional attribution for RV 1.136)
Devata: Mitra-Varuṇa (probable for RV 1.136; ‘two kings’ and later mention of Mitra, Aryaman, Varuṇa in 1.136.2 suggests Ādityas with focus on Mitra-Varuṇa)
Chandas: Triṣṭubh/Jagatī mixture (probable; requires full metrical scan; marked as uncertain)
Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

प्र सु ज्येष्ठं निचिराभ्यां बृहन्नमो हव्यं मतिं भरता मृळयद्भ्यां स्वादिष्ठं मृळयद्भ्याम् । ता सम्राजा घृतासुती यज्ञेयज्ञ उपस्तुता । अथैनोः क्षत्रं न कुतश्चनाधृषे देवत्वं नू चिदाधृषे ॥

Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 1.136.1
Transliteration

prá sú jyeṣṭháṃ ni-cirā́bhyāṃ bṛhán námo havyáṃ matíṃ bharatā mṛḷayád-bhyāṃ svādiṣṭháṃ mṛḷayád-bhyām | tā́ sam-rā́jā ghṛtā́sutī yajñé-yajñe úpa-stutā | áthai noḥ kṣatráṃ ná kútaś canā́dhṛṣe deva-tváṃ nú cit ā́dhṛṣe ||

Translation

Bawalah penghormatan yang luas, yang tertua—persembahan berupa niat-batin (mati) dan havya—bagi dua yang tahan lama, dua yang mengurniakan belas kasihan, yang paling manis dalam kemurahan. Kedua raja berdaulat itu, kaya dengan curahan ghee (ghṛta), dipuji pada setiap yajña; maka kṣatra (kuasa pemerintahan)-Nya tidak dapat diserang dari mana pun, dan bahkan ketuhanan-Nya pun tidak dapat diganggu.
