श॒युः प॒रस्ता॒दध॒ नु द्वि॑मा॒ताब॑न्ध॒नश्च॑रति व॒त्स एकः॑ । मि॒त्रस्य॒ ता वरु॑णस्य व्र॒तानि॑ म॒हद्दे॒वाना॑मसुर॒त्वमेक॑म्
śayuḥ parastādadha nu dvimātābandhanaścarati vatsa ekaḥ mitrasya tā varuṇasya vratāni mahaddevānāmasuratvamekam
They slept thereafter; in the twofold bonds the mother wanders and the calf goes alone. The vows of Mitra and Varuṇa—thus we spoke—one sovereignty of the gods and Asuras alike.
The child of two mothers sleeps in the west, but (in the morning) the single infant proceeds unobstructed (through the sky); these are the functions of Mitra and Varuṇa; great and unequalled is the might of the gods.
Now lying far away, Child of two Mothers, he wanders unrestrained, the single youngling. These are the laws of Varuna and Mitra. Great is the Gods' supreme and sole dominion.
