khātám ákhātam utá saktám agrabham íreva dhánvan ní jajāsa te viṣám ||1||

Since Varuṇa, poet of heaven, hath given [them] to me, with formidable spells (vácas) do I dissolve thy poison; what is dug, undug, and attached (saktá) have I seized; like drink (írā) on a waste hath thy poison been wasted (ni-jas).

What waterless poison is thine, that of thine have I seized in these; I seize thy midmost, thine upmost juice (rása); also may thy lowest then disappear for fright.

A bull [is] my cry, like thunder through the cloud (nábhas); with thy formidable spell do I then drive it off (bādh) for thee; I have seized that juice of his with men ⌊?⌋; like light out of darkness let the sun arise.
