1.214.16
“Oṃ, praying with sacred formulation, I approach you for that; for that the sacrificer prays with his oblations.
Heed here without wrath, O Varuṇa; do not steal away our life, widely praised one!
Oṃ, wise Agni, do avert from us the wrath of the god Varuṇa;
most eager sacrificer, best bearer [of oblations], blazing forth, release from us all hostilities! Svāhā.
Oṃ, be thou, O Agni, closest to us, an aid at the dawning of this dawn;
appeasing Varuṇa for us, being generous, delight in our mercy; easily invoked, be with us!
Oṃ, O waters, [let not] harm to plants [occur]... from that realm may Varuṇa free us; when we swear 'by the cows' or 'by Varuṇa', from that release us, O Varuṇa!
Oṃ, loosen the uppermost fetter from us, O Varuṇa, loosen the lowermost, untie the middle one;
then may we, in your ordinance, O son of Aditi, be blameless for Aditi!
May they release me... from Varuṇa's [fetter]...
... from Yama's consort, from every sin!
At the concluding bath, again... […]
... the evil done against the gods, by the gods... [...]”
