Griffith, [1896]\n1. GUARDIANS of Order, ye whose Laws are ever true, in the sublimest heaven your chariot ye ascend.\n O Mitra-Varu\u1e47a whomsoe\u2019er ye: favour, here, to him the rain with sweetness streameth down from heaven.\n 2 This world's imperial Kings, O Mitra-Varu\u1e47a, ye rule in holy synod, looking on the light.\n We pray for rain, your boon, and immortality. Through heaven and over earth the thunderers take their way.\n 3 Imperial Kings, strong, Heroes, Lords of earth and heaven, Mitra and Varu\u1e47a, ye ever active Ones,\n Ye wait on thunder with the many-tinted clouds, and by the Asura's magic power cause Heaven to rain.\n 4 Your magic, Mitra-Varu\u1e47a, resteth in the heaven. The Sun, the wondrous weapon, cometh forth as light.\n Ye hide him in the sky with cloud and flood of rain, and water-drops, Parjanya! full of sweetness flow.\n 5 The Maruts yoke their easy car for victory, O Mitra-Varu\u1e47a, as a hero in the wars.\n The thunderers roam through regions varied in their hues. Imperial Kings, bedew us with the milk of heaven.\n 6 Refreshing is your voice, O Mitra-Varu\u1e47a: Parjanya sendeth out a wondrous mighty voice.\n With magic power the Maruts clothe them with the clouds. Ye Two cause Heaven to rain, the red, the spotless One.\n 7 Wise, with your Law and through the Asura's magic power ye guard the ordinances, Mitra-Varu\u1e47a.\n Ye by eternal Order govern all the world. Ye set the Sun in heaven as a refulgent car.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 5: HYMN LXIII. Mitra-Varu\u1e47a.","type":"page"}
