PRESENT to Varuṇa thine hymn, Vasiṣṭha, bright, most delightful to the Bounteous Giver, Who bringeth on to us the Bull, the lofty, the Holy, laden with a thousand treasures.
7.88.2
अधा॒ न्व॑स्य सं॒दृशं॑ जग॒न्वान॒ग्नेरनी॑कं॒ वरु॑णस्य मंसि | स्व१र्यदश्म॑न्नधि॒पा उ॒ अन्धो॒ऽभि मा॒ वपु॑र्दृ॒शये॑ निनीयात् ||
And now, as I am come before his presence, I take the face of Varuṇa for Agni's. So might he bring-Lord also of the darkness-the light in heaven that I may see its beauty!
7.88.3
आ यद्रु॒हाव॒ वरु॑णश्च॒ नावं॒ प्र यत्स॑मु॒द्रमी॒रया॑व॒ मध्य॑म् | अधि॒ यद॒पां स्नुभि॒श्चरा॑व॒ प्र प्रे॒ङ्ख ई॑ङ्खयावहै शु॒भे कम् ||
When Varuṇa 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.
7.88.4
वसि॑ष्ठं ह॒ वरु॑णो ना॒व्याधा॒दृषिं॑ चकार॒ स्वपा॒ महो॑भिः | स्तो॒तारं॒ विप्र॑: सुदिन॒त्वे अह्नां॒ यान्नु द्याव॑स्त॒तन॒न्यादु॒षास॑: ||
Varuṇa placed Vasiṣṭha in the vessel, and deftly with his niight made him a Ṛṣi. When days shone bright the Sage made him a singer, while the heavens broadened and the Dawns were lengthened.
7.88.5
क्व१ त्यानि॑ नौ स॒ख्या ब॑भूवु॒: सचा॑वहे॒ यद॑वृ॒कं पु॒रा चि॑त् | बृ॒हन्तं॒ मानं॑ वरुण स्वधावः स॒हस्र॑द्वारं जगमा गृ॒हं ते॑ ||
What hath become of those our ancient friendships, when without enmity we walked together? I, Varuṇa, thou glorious Lord, have entered thy lofty home, thine house with thousand portals.
7.88.6
य आ॒पिर्नित्यो॑ वरुण प्रि॒यः सन्त्वामागां॑सि कृ॒णव॒त्सखा॑ ते | मा त॒ एन॑स्वन्तो यक्षिन्भुजेम य॒न्धि ष्मा॒ विप्र॑: स्तुव॒ते वरू॑थम् ||
If he, thy true ally, hath sinned against thee, still, Varuṇa, he is the friend thou lovedst. Let us not, Living One, as sinners I know thee: give shelter, as a Sage, to him who lauds thee.
7.88.7
ध्रु॒वासु॑ त्वा॒सु क्षि॒तिषु॑ क्षि॒यन्तो॒ व्य१स्मत्पाशं॒ वरु॑णो मुमोचत् | अवो॑ वन्वा॒ना अदि॑तेरु॒पस्था॑द्यू॒यं पा॑त स्व॒स्तिभि॒: सदा॑ नः ||
While we abide in these fixed habitations, and from the lap of Aditi win favour, May Varuṇa untie the bond that binds us. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
