Lord of all wealth, the Asura upheld the heavens and measured the expansive earth. He, Supreme King, approached all living beings. All these are Varuṇa’s sacred actions.
So humbly worship Varuṇa, the mighty one, revere the wise protector of the world, immortal. May he grant us triple-barred protection. Earth and Heaven, within your embrace, protect us.
Sharpen this song of him who strives his utmost, sharpen, Varuṇa, his strength and wisdom; May we board the ship that safely carries us, so we may pass over all misfortune.
Aśvins, with songs the singer has fashioned stones, hasten hitherward, Nāsatyas, to the Soma draught. Let all the others fade away.
Like the sage Atri with his hymns, O Aśvins, did you eagerly call, Nāsatyas, to the Soma draught. Let all the others fade away.
So have I called you to our aid, even as the wise have called before, Nāsatyas, to the Soma draught. Let all the others fade away.
