Rig Veda 7.88

pra śundhyuvaṃ varuṇāya preṣṭhām matiṃ vasiṣṭha mīﾱhuṣe bharasva ya īm arvāñcaṃ karate yajatraṃ sahasrāmaghaṃ vṛṣaṇam bṛhantam

Present to Varuna thine hymn, Vasishtha, bright, most delightful to the Bounteous Giver, Who bringeth on to us the Bull, the lofty, the Holy, laden with a thousand treasures.

adhā nv asya saṃdṛśaṃ jaganvān agner anīkaṃ varuṇasya maṃsi svar yad aśmann adhipā u andho 'bhi mā vapur dṛśaye ninīyāt

And now, as I am come before his presence, I take the face of Varuna for Agni's. So might he bring-Lord also of the darkness-the light in heaven that I may see its beauty!

ā yad ruhāva varuṇaś ca nāvam pra yat samudram īrayāva madhyam adhi yad apāṃ snubhiś carāva pra preṅkha īṅkhayāvahai śubhe kam

When Varuna and I embark together and urge our boat into the midst of ocean, We, when we ride o'er ridges of the waters, will swing within that swing and there be happy.

vasiṣṭhaṃ ha varuṇo nāvy ādhād ṛṣiṃ cakāra svapā mahobhiḥ stotāraṃ vipraḥ sudinatve ahnāṃ yān nu dyāvas tatanan yād uṣāsaḥ

Varuna placed Vasishtha in the vessel, and deftly with his night made him a Rishi. When days shone bright the Sage made him a singer, while the heavens broadened and the Dawns were lengthened.

kva tyāni nau sakhyā babhūvuḥ sacāvahe yad avṛkam purā cit bṛhantam mānaṃ varuṇa svadhāvaḥ sahasradvāraṃ jagamā gṛhaṃ te

What hath become of those our ancient friendships, when without enmity we walked together? I, Varuna, thou glorious Lord, have entered thy lofty home, thine house with thousand portals.

ya āpir nityo varuṇa priyaḥ san tvām āgāṃsi kṛṇavat sakhā te mā ta enasvanto yakṣin bhujema yandhi ṣmā vipra stuvate varūtham

If he, thy true ally, hath sinned against thee, still, Varuna, he is the friend thou lovest. Let us not, Living One, as sinners I know thee: give shelter, as a Sage, to him who lauds thee.

dhruvāsu tvāsu kṣitiṣu kṣiyanto vy asmat pāśaṃ varuṇo mumocat avo vanvānā aditer upasthād yūyam pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ

While we abide in these fixed habitations, and from the lap of Aditi win favour, May Varuna untie the bond that binds us. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
