The Eleventh Hymn to Mitra-Varuna

 

AN INVOCATION TO THE SACRIFICE

 

[The Rishi invokes Mitra and Varuna to the sacrifice as the godheads who lead man on the path according to the law of the truth and confirm our spiritual gains by its workings.]

 

 

1. With the words we sacrifice to Mitra and to Varuna as the Atri.

Sit on the seat of the largeness for the drinking of the wine

 

 

2. By your working you keep firm the gettings of good and you make men to walk the path by your law.

Sit on the seat of the largeness for the drinking of the wine.

 

 

3. May Mitra and Varuna take delight in our sacrifice that we may have our desire.

Sit on the seat of the largeness for the drinking of the wine.
