Atharva Veda 7.83

1
English · William Dwight Whitney

In the waters, O king Varuṇa, is built for thee a golden house; thence let the king of firm courses release all bonds (dā́man).

2
English · William Dwight Whitney

From every bond, O king, here, O Varuṇa, release us; if "O waters, inviolable ones!" if "O Varuṇa!" we have said, from that, O Varuṇa, release us.

3
English · William Dwight Whitney

Loosen up the uppermost fetter from us, O Varuṇa, [loosen] down the lowest, off the midmost; then may we, O Āditya, in thy sphere (vratá), be guiltless unto Aditi.

4
English · William Dwight Whitney

Release from us, O Varuṇa, all fetters, that are uppermost, lowest, that are Varuṇa's; remove from us evil-dreaming [and] difficulty; then may we go to the world of the well-done.
