Rig Veda 7.51.1
आदित्यानामवसा नूतनेन सक्षीमहि शर्मणा शन्तमेन | अनागास्त्वे अदितित्वे तुरास इमं यज्ञं दधतु शरोषमाणाः
ādityānāmavasā nūtanena sakṣīmahi śarmaṇā śantamena | anāghāstve adititve turāsa imaṃ yajñaṃ dadhatu śroṣamāṇāḥ
THROUGH the Ādityas’ most auspicious shelter, through their most recent succour may we conquer. May they, the Mighty, giving ear, establish this sacrifice, to make us free and sinless.
Rig Veda 7.51.2
आदित्यासो अदितिर्मादयन्तां मित्रो अर्यमा वरुणो रजिष्ठाः | अस्माकं सन्तु भुवनस्य गोपाः पिबन्तु सोममवसे नो अद्य
ādityāso aditirmādayantāṃ mitro aryamā varuṇo rajiṣṭhāḥ | asmākaṃ santu bhuvanasya ghopāḥ pibantu somamavase no adya
Let Aditi rejoice and the Ādityas, Varuṇa, Mitra, Aryaman, most righteous. May they, the Guardians of the world, protect us, and, to show favour, drink this day our Soma.
