Then what standing pool of flowing water there is in a sunny spot, that (water) he takes with (Vâg. S. X, 4), 'Sun-skinned ye are, bestowers of kingship: bestow ye kingship on me, hail!--Sun-skinned ye are, bestowers of kingship: bestow ye kingship on N.N.!' With that (water) he sprinkles: it is with lustre he thereby sprinkles him, and makes him sun-skinned. Now it is to Varuna that those waters belong which, (whilst being part) of flowing water, do not flow: and Varuna's quickening (sava) is that Râgasûya: therefore he sprinkles him therewith. This is one kind of water: it is that he now brings.
