Rig Veda 10.185: GREAT, unassailable must he the heavenly favour of' Three Gods
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896) · From The Hymns of the Rigveda (1896)
GREAT, unassailable must he the heavenly favour of' Three Gods,
Varuna, Mitra, Aryaman.
O'er these, neither at home nor yet abroad or pathways that are Strange,
The evil-minded foe hath power
Nor over him, the man on whom the Sons of Aditi bestow Eternal light that he may live.
