10.173.1

आ त्वा॑हार्षम॒न्तरे॑धि ध्रु॒वस्ति॒ष्ठावि॑चाचलिः ।
विश॑स्त्वा॒ सर्वा॑ वाञ्छन्तु॒ मा त्वद्रा॒ष्ट्रमधि॑ भ्रशत् ॥

I have brought you here; be firm, stand steadfast and unshaken. Let all the peoples desire you; may this kingdom never fall away from you.

इ॒हैवैधि॒ माप॑ च्योष्ठाः॒ पर्व॑त इ॒वावि॑चाचलिः ।
इन्द्र॑ इवे॒ह ध्रु॒वस्ति॑ष्ठे॒ह रा॒ष्ट्रमु॑ धारय ॥

Remain right here, do not fall away; be unshaken like a mountain. Stand firm here like Indra, and here hold up this kingdom.

इ॒ममिन्द्रो॑ अदीधरद्ध्रु॒वं ध्रु॒वेण॑ ह॒विषा॑ ।
तस्मै॒ सोमो॒ अधि॑ ब्रव॒त्तस्मा॑ उ॒ ब्रह्म॑ण॒स्पतिः॑ ॥

Indra established this firm one with a firm oblation. For him let Soma speak; for him indeed let the lord of the sacred formula speak.

ध्रु॒वा द्यौर्ध्रु॒वा पृ॑थि॒वी ध्रु॒वासः॒ पर्व॑ता इ॒मे ।
ध्रु॒वं विश्व॑मि॒दं जग॑द्ध्रु॒वो राजा॑ वि॒शाम॒यम् ॥

The sky is firm, the earth is firm; these mountains are firm. This whole moving world is firm; the firm king is this one of the peoples.

ध्रु॒वं ते॒ राजा॒ वरु॑णो ध्रु॒वं दे॒वो बृह॒स्पतिः॑ ।
ध्रु॒वं त॒ इन्द्र॑श्चा॒ग्निश्च॑ रा॒ष्ट्रं धा॑रयतां ध्रु॒वम् ॥

For you let King Varuna make it firm, let the god Brihaspati make it firm. For you let Indra and Agni also hold this kingdom firmly.

ध्रु॒वं ध्रु॒वेण॑ ह॒विषा॑ अ॒भि सोमं॑ मृशामसि ।
अथो॑ त॒ इन्द्रः॒ केव॑ली॒र्विशो॑ बलि॒हृत॑स्करत् ॥

With a firm oblation we anoint the firm one with Soma. And then may Indra make you the sole lord of the peoples, the king of those who bring tribute.
