ayaṃ devānām asuro vi rājati vaśā hi satyā varuṇasya rājñaḥ | tatas pari brahmaṇā śāśadāna ugrasya manyor ud imaṃ 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.
namas te rajan varuṇāstu manyave viśvaṃ hy ugra nicikeṣi drugdham | sahasram anyān pra suvāmi sākaṃ śataṃ jīvāti śaradas tavāyam ||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.
muñcāmi tvā vaiśvānarād arṇavān mahatas pari | sajātān ugrehā vada brahma cāpa 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).
