I come a God foreseeing from the godless to immortality by secret pathways, While I, ungracious one, desert the gracious, leave mine own friends and seek the kin of strangers.

I tarried many a year within this altar: I leave the Father, for my choice is Indra. Away pass Agni, Varuṇa and Soma. Rule ever changes: this I come to favour.

These Asuras have lost their powers of magic. But thou, O Varuṇa, if thou dost love me, O King, discerning truth and right from falsehood, come and be Lord and Ruler of my kingdom.
10.124.6
इ॒दं स्व॑रि॒दमिदा॑स वा॒मम॒यं प्र॑का॒श उ॒र्व१न्तरि॑क्षम् | हना॑व वृ॒त्रं नि॒रेहि॑ सोम ह॒विष्ट्वा॒ सन्तं॑ ह॒विषा॑ यजाम ||
Here is the light of heaven, here allis lovely; here there is radiance, here is air's wide region. Let us two slaughter Vṛtra. Forth, O Soma! Thou art oblation: we therewith will serve thee.

The Sage hath fixed his form by wisdom in the heavens: Varuṇa with no violence let the waters flow. Like women-folk, the floods that bring prosperity have eau lit his hue and colour as they gleamed and shone.

ता अ॑स्य॒ ज्येष्ठ॑मिन्द्रि॒यं स॑चन्ते॒ ता ई॒मा क्षे॑ति स्व॒धया॒ मद॑न्तीः | ता ईं॒ विशो॒ न राजा॑नं वृणा॒ना बी॑भ॒त्सुवो॒ अप॑ वृ॒त्राद॑तिष्ठन् ||

They call him Swan, the abhorrent floods' Companion, moving in friendship with celestial Waters. The poets in their thought have looked on Indra swiftly approaching when Anustup calls him.
