‘Varuṇa within the waters
Hath set him down, preserving order,
For overlordship, for paramount rule, for self rule, for sovereignty, for supreme authority, for kingship, for great kingship, for suzerainty, for supremacy, for pre-eminence, the wise one.’

Him when seated on the throne, Prajāpati, standing in front of him, facing west, anointed through a branch of Udumbara, dry but with leaves, and a golden strainer, to the accompaniment of the triplet ‘These waters are most auspicious’, the Yajus formula ‘(On the instigation) of the god thee’, and the exclamations *bhūḥ*, *bhuvaḥ*, *svar*.
