सम्राट् देवं वरुणं गीर्भिर्हवामहे वयम्
स नः पर्षदति द्विषो नावेव सिन्धुं दुरिता
वयं स्याम पतयो रयीणां सुवीराः
Samrat Devam Varunam Girbhirhavamahe Vayam
Sa Nah Parshadati Dvisho Naveva Sindhum Durita
Vayam Syama Patayo Rayinam Suvirah
With sacred songs we invoke the radiant God Varuna, universal sovereign of the waters and skies;
May He ferry us across all hostilities and sins like a boat across a river,
And may we, blessed with noble heroes, be lords of spiritual treasures.
