Rig Veda
āsīdad viśvā bhuvanāni samrāḍ viśvet tāni varuṇasya vratāni
Lord of all wealth, the Asura propped the heavens, and measured out the broad earth's wide expanses. He, King supreme, approached all living creatures. All these are Varuna's holy operations.
evā vandasva varuṇam bṛhantaṃ namasyā dhīram amṛtasya gopām sa naḥ śarma trivarūthaṃ vi yaṃsat pātaṃ no dyāvāpṛthivī upasthe
So humbly worship Varuna the Mighty revere the wise Guard of World Immortal. May he vouchsafe us triply-barred protection. O Earth and Heaven, within your lap preserve us.
imāṃ dhiyaṃ śikṣamāṇasya deva kratuṃ dakṣaṃ varuṇa saṃ śiśādhi yayāti viśvā duritā tarema sutarmāṇam adhi nāvaṃ ruhema
Sharpen this song of him who strives his utmost, sharpen, God Varuna, his strength and insight; May we ascend the ship that bears us safely, whereby we may pass over all misfortune.
ā vāṃ grāvāṇo aśvinā dhībhir viprā acucyavuḥ nāsatyā somapītaye nabhantām anyake same
