Sukta 7.85

Rishi: Vasiṣṭha (Vasiṣṭha Maitrāvaruṇi, traditional ascription for Maṇḍala 7)
Devata: Indra-Varuṇa (dual invocation; protective and order-establishing powers)

इयमिन्द्रं वरुणमष्ट मे गीः प्रावत्तोके तनये तूतुजाना । सुरत्नासो देववीतिं गमेम यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः ॥

iyám índraṃ váruṇam aṣṭa me gī́ḥ prá ā́vat toke tánaye tū́tujānā | su-rátnāso devá-vītiṃ gamema yūyám pāta svastí-bhiḥ sadā́ naḥ ||

This my word of inspiration has reached Indra and Varuṇa, urging the growth of our inner ‘child’ and the yet-to-be-born powers within us. May we, rich in the true gems of consciousness, arrive at the divine path of communion; do you two guard us always with states of well-being and safe passage.
