5.3.3.9
atha varuṇāya dharmapataye | vāruṇaṃ yavamayaṃ caruṃ nirvapati tadenaṃ varuṇa eva dharmapatirdharmasya patiṃ karoti paramatā vai sā yo dharmasya patirasadyo hi paramatāṃ gacati taṃ hi dharma upayanti tasmādvaruṇāya dharmapataye
For Varuna Dharmapati (the lord of the law) he then prepares a Varuna pap of barley: thereby Varuna, the lord of the law, makes him lord of the law; and that truly is the supreme state, when one is lord of the law; for whosoever attains to the supreme state, to him they come in (matters of) law: therefore to Varuna Dharmapati.
