For some one's release from Varuṇa's wrath
This Asura bears rule over the gods; for the wills (váça) of king Varuṇa [come] true; from him, prevailing by my worship (bráhman), from the fury of the formidable one (ugrá) do I lead up this man.
namas te rājan varuṇāstu manyave viśvaṃ hy ugra nicikeṣi drugdham sahasram anyān pra suvāmi sākaṃ śataṃ jīvāti śaradas tavāyam
Homage be to thy fury, O king Varuṇa; for, O formidable one, thou dost note (ni-ci) every malice (drugdhá). A thousand others I impel (pra-sū) together; a hundred autumns of thee shall this man live.
yad uvakthānṛtam jihvayā vṛjinaṃ bahu rājñas tvā satyadharmaṇo muñcāmi varuṇād aham
In that thou hast spoken with the tongue untruth, much wrong—from the king of true ordinances (-dhárman), from Varuṇa, I release thee.
muñcāmi tvā vaiśvānarād arṇavān mahatas pari sajātān ugrehā vada brahma cāpa cikīhi naḥ
I release thee out of the universal, the great flood (arṇavá); speak, O formidable one, unto [thy] fellows here, and reverence our incantation (bráhman).
