1.10.1
ayáṃ devā́nām ásuro ví rājati váśā hí satyā́ váruṇasya rā́jñaḥ |
tátas pári bráhmaṇā śā́śadāna ugrásya manyór úd imáṃ nayāmi ||1||
This Asura bears rule over the gods; for the wills (váça) of king Varuṇa [come] true; from him, prevailing by my worship (bráhman), from the fury of the formidable one (ugrá) do I lead up this man.
1.10.2
námas te rajan varuṇāstu manyáve víśvaṃ hy ùgra nicikéṣi drugdhám |
sahásram anyā́n prá suvāmi sākáṃ śatáṃ jīvāti śarádas távāyám ||2||
Homage be to thy fury, O king Varuṇa; for, O formidable one, thou dost note (ni-ci) every malice (drugdhá). A thousand others I impel (pra-sū) together; a hundred autumns of thee shall this man live.
1.10.3
yád uvákthā́nr̥tam jihváyā vr̥jináṃ bahú |
rā́jñas tvā satyádharmaṇo muñcā́mi váruṇād ahám ||3||
In that thou hast spoken with the tongue untruth, much wrong—from the king of true ordinances (-dhárman), from Varuṇa, I release thee.
1.10.4
muñcā́mi tvā vaiśvānarā́d arṇavā́n mahatás pári |
sajātā́n ugrehā́ vada bráhma cā́pa cikīhi naḥ ||4||
I release thee out of the universal, the great flood (arṇavá); speak, O formidable one, unto [thy] fellows here, and reverence our incantation (bráhman).
