Recitation with translationRig Veda 8.47.1

máhi vo mahatā́m ávo váruṇa mítra dāśúṣe | yám ādityā́ abhí drúho rákṣathā néma-gháṃ ná naśad anéhaso va ūtáyaḥ su-ūtáyaḥ va ūtáyaḥ ||

Besar sungguh pertolonganmu yang besar, wahai Varuṇa dan Mitra, bagi si pemberi persembahan. Wahai Āditya, peliharalah dia daripada kelicikan yang memusuhi; jangan biarkan sebarang bahagian kejahatan menyentuhnya. Wahai yang tidak tersasar, perlindunganmu—perlindunganmu yang baik—ialah benteng kami.
