1.136.1

pra su jyeṣṭha̍ṁ nici̱rābhyā̍m bṛ̱han namo̍ ha̱vyam ma̱tim bha̍ratā mṛḻa̱yadbhyā̱ṁ svādi̍ṣṭham mṛḻa̱yadbhyā̍m |
tā sa̱mrājā̍ ghṛ̱tāsu̍tī ya̱jñe-ya̍jña̱ upa̍stutā |
athai̍noḥ kṣa̱traṁ na kuta̍ś ca̱nādhṛṣe̍ deva̱tvaṁ nū ci̍d ā̱dhṛṣe̍ ||

BRING adoration ample and most excellent, hymn, offierings, to the watchful Twain, the bountiful, your sweetest to the bounteous Ones. Sovrans adored with streams of oil and praised at every sacrifice. Their high imperial might may nowhere be assailed, ne'er may their Godhead be assailed.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda

1.136.2

ada̍rśi gā̱tur u̱rave̱ varī̍yasī̱ panthā̍ ṛ̱tasya̱ sam a̍yaṁsta ra̱śmibhi̱ś cakṣu̱r bhaga̍sya ra̱śmibhi̍ḥ |
dyu̱kṣam mi̱trasya̱ sāda̍nam arya̱mṇo varu̍ṇasya ca |
athā̍ dadhāte bṛ̱had u̱kthya1̱̍ṁ vaya̍ upa̱stutya̍m bṛ̱had vaya̍ḥ ||

For the broad Sun was seen a path more widely laid, the path of holy law hath been maintained with rays, the eye with Bhaga's rays of light. Firm-set in heaven is Mitra's home, and Aryaman's and Varuṇa's. Thence they give forth great vital strength which merits praise, high power of life that men shall praise.

1.136.3

jyoti̍ṣmatī̱m adi̍tiṁ dhāra̱yatkṣi̍ti̱ṁ sva̍rvatī̱m ā sa̍cete di̱ve-di̍ve jāgṛ̱vāṁsā̍ di̱ve-di̍ve |
jyoti̍ṣmat kṣa̱tram ā̍śāte ādi̱tyā dānu̍na̱s patī̍ |
mi̱tras tayo̱r varu̍ṇo yāta̱yajja̍no 'rya̱mā yā̍ta̱yajja̍naḥ ||

With Aditi the luminous, the celestial, upholder of the people, come ye day by day, ye who watch sleepless, day by day. Resplendent might have ye obtained, Âdityas, Lords of liberal gifts. Movers of men, mild both, are Mitra, Varuṇa, mover of men is Aryaman.

1.136.4

a̱yam mi̱trāya̱ varu̍ṇāya̱ śaṁta̍ma̱ḥ somo̍ bhūtv ava̱pāne̱ṣv ābha̍go de̱vo de̱veṣv ābha̍gaḥ |
taṁ de̱vāso̍ juṣerata̱ viśve̍ a̱dya sa̱joṣa̍saḥ |
tathā̍ rājānā karatho̱ yad īma̍ha̱ ṛtā̍vānā̱ yad īma̍he ||

This Soma be most sweet to Mitra, Varuṇa: he in the drinking-feasts, shall have a share thereof, sharing, a God, among the Gods. May all the Gods of one accord accept it joyfully to-day. Therefore do ye, O Kings, accomplish what we ask, ye Righteous Ones, whate'er we ask.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda

1.136.5

yo mi̱trāya̱ varu̍ṇā̱yāvi̍dha̱j jano̍ 'na̱rvāṇa̱ṁ tam pari̍ pāto̱ aṁha̍so dā̱śvāṁsa̱m marta̱m aṁha̍saḥ |
tam a̍rya̱mābhi ra̍kṣaty ṛjū̱yanta̱m anu̍ vra̱tam |
u̱kthair ya e̍noḥ pari̱bhūṣa̍ti vra̱taṁ stomai̍r ā̱bhūṣa̍ti vra̱tam ||

Whoso, with worship serves Mitra and VaruiIa, him guard ye carefully, uninjured, from distress, guard from distress the liberal man. Aryaman guards him well who acts uprightly following his law, Who beautifies their service with his lauds, who makes it beautiful with songs of praise.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda

1.136.6

namo̍ di̱ve bṛ̍ha̱te roda̍sībhyām mi̱trāya̍ voca̱ṁ varu̍ṇāya mī̱ḻhuṣe̍ sumṛḻī̱kāya̍ mī̱ḻhuṣe̍ |
indra̍m a̱gnim upa̍ stuhi dyu̱kṣam a̍rya̱maṇa̱m bhaga̍m |
jyog jīva̍ntaḥ pra̱jayā̍ sacemahi̱ soma̍syo̱tī sa̍cemahi ||

Worship will I proress to lofty Dyaus, to Heaven and Earth, to Mitra and to bounteous Varuṇa, the Bounteous, the Compassionate. Praise Indra, praise thou Agni, praise Bhaga and heavenly Aryaman. Long may we live and have attendant progeny, have progeny with Soma's help.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda

1.136.7

ū̱tī de̱vānā̍ṁ va̱yam indra̍vanto maṁsī̱mahi̱ svaya̍śaso ma̱rudbhi̍ḥ |
a̱gnir mi̱tro varu̍ṇa̱ḥ śarma̍ yaṁsa̱n tad a̍śyāma ma̱ghavā̍no va̱yaṁ ca̍ ||

With the Gods' help, with Indra still beside us, may we be held self-splendid with the Maruts. May Agni, Mitra, Varuṇa give us shelter this may we gain, we and our wealthy princes.
