PRESENT to Varuṇa thine hymn, Vasishṭha, bright, most delightful to the Bounteous Giver, Who bringeth on to us the Bull, the lofty, the Holy, laden with a thousand treasures.

And now, as I am come before his presence, I take the face of Varuṇa for Agni's. So might he bring-Lord also of the darkness-the light in heaven that I may see its beauty!

When Varuṇa and I embark together and urge our boat into the midst of ocean, We, when we ride o'er ridges of the waters, will swing within that swing and there be happy.

7.88.4

vasi̍ṣṭhaṁ ha̱ varu̍ṇo nā̱vy ādhā̱d ṛṣi̍ṁ cakāra̱ svapā̱ maho̍bhiḥ |

Varuṇa placed Vasishṭha in the vessel, and deftly with his niight made him a Ṛishi. When days shone bright the Sage made him a singer, while the heavens broadened and the Dawns were lengthened.

If he, thy true ally, hath sinned against thee, still, Varuṇa, he is the friend thou lovedst. Let us not, Living One, as sinners I know thee: give shelter, as a Sage, to him who lauds thee.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda

While we abide in these fixed habitations, and from the lap of Aditi win favour, May Varuṇa untie the bond that binds us. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
