Rig Veda 5.49.5: Mandala 5, Sukta 49, Mantra 5

Sukta 5.49

Rishi: Atri (Ātreya tradition) (traditional attribution for Mandala 5 hymns; specific verse-level r̥ṣi not separately marked here)
Devata: Vasus; Mitra-Varuṇa; with Heaven-and-Earth (Dyāvā-Pṛthivī) as sustaining powers
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (probable, by verse length and Mandala 5 norm; requires metrical counting for full confirmation)

प्र ये वसुभ्य ईवदा नमो दुर्ये मित्रे वरुणे सूक्तवाचः । अवैत्वभ्वं कृणुता वरीयो दिवस्पृथिव्योरवसा मदेम ॥

prá ye vásubhya ī́vadā námo dúrye mitré váruṇe sūktá-vācaḥ | aváitv ábhvaṁ kṛṇutá várīyo diváḥpṛthivyór avásā madema ||

ขอให้ถ้อยคำสรรเสริญอันงามของเราก้าวไปข้างหน้า แบกไว้ซึ่งนมัสการที่ไปถึงเหล่าวสุ (Vasus) และเป็นถ้อยคำที่มิตรและวรุณะ (Mitra, Varuṇa) ต้านทานได้ยาก. ขอให้อุปสรรคอันกว้างใหญ่จมลงและสลายไป; จงทำทางที่กว้างกว่าและเป็นอิสระกว่าแก่เรา. ด้วยพลังอุปถัมภ์ของฟ้าและแผ่นดิน ขอให้เรารื่นรมย์ในความอุดมภายใน.
