4.16.5

sárvaṃ tád rā́jā váruṇo ví caṣṭe yád antarā́ ródasī yát parástāt |
sáṃkhyātā asya nimíṣo jánānām akṣā́n iva śvaghnī́ ní minoti tā́ni ||5||

All this king Varuna beholds (vi-cakṣ)—what is between the two firmaments (ródasī), what beyond; numbered of him are the winkings of people; as a gambler the dice, [so] does he fix (? ni-mi) these things.

William Dwight Whitney 1905, Atharva-Veda Saṃhitā (HOS 7–8)
