Griffith, [1896]\n1. THREE spheres of light, O Varu\u1e47a, three heavens, three firmaments ye comprehend, O Mitra:\n Waxed strong, ye keep the splendour of dominion, guarding the Ordinance that lasts for ever.\n 2 Ye, Varu\u1e47a, have kine who yield refreshment; Mitra, your floods pour water full of sweetness.\n There stand the Three Steers, splendid in their brightness, who fill the three world-bowls with genial moisture.\n 3 I call at dawn on Aditi the Goddess, I call at noon and when the Sun is setting.\n I pray, O Mitra-Varu\u1e47a, for safety, for wealth and progeny, in rest and trouble.\n 4 Ye who uphold the region, sphere of brightness, ye who support earth's realm Divine \u0100dityas,\n The Immortal Gods, O Varu\u1e47a and Mitra, never impair your everlasting statutes.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 5: HYMN LXIX.
