The Ninth Hymn to Mitra-Varuna
THE INCREASERS OF BEING AND DELIVERERS
[The Rishi desires the wide and multiple fostering of our being and its powers which Varuna and Mitra give and their complete impulsion of our strength towards the perfect foundation of the divine status. He prays to them to protect and deliver him from the Destroyers and prevent their adverse control from impairing the growth of the godhead in our various sheaths or bodies.]
1. Multiple indeed by the wideness1 is now your fostering of our being, O Varuna. O Mitra, I would enjoy your perfect mindedness.
2. You are they who betray not to harm;2 may we enjoy your complete force of impulsion for our founding; may we be they, O you violent godheads.
1 The wideness of the infinite Truth-plane with the manifold wealth of its spiritual contents. Its condition is the perfection of the thought-mind and psychic mentality proper to a divine nature, which comes to man as the grace of the gods, sumati. 2 The harms of the Dasyus, destroyers of our being and enemies of its divine progress, the sons of Limitation and Ignorance.

4. O transcendent in will-power, let us not in our embodyings suffer the control of any,4 nor in our begetting, nor our creation.
3 Rudras. Rudra is the Divine as the master of our evolution by violence and battle, smiting and destroying the Sons of Darkness and the evil they create in man. Varuna and Mitra as helpers in the upward struggle against the Dasyus assume this Rudrahood. 4 That is, any of the Destroyers.
