ayáṃ hí netā́ váruṇa ṛtásya mitró rājāno aryámāpo dhúḥ | suháva devy áditir anarvā́ te no aṃhó áti parṣann áriṣṭān ||
Translation
Ибо этот Варуна — вождь Риты (Истины); Митра и Арьяман — цари, а Воды несут бремя. Да перенесёт нас через беду богиня Адити, благопризываемая, неколебимая; да переправят нас те силы, невредимых.
