Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 4.16.3

AVŚ 4.16.3

उतेयं भूमिर् वरुणस्य राज्ञ उतासौ द्यौर् बृहती दूरेअन्ता । उतो समुद्रौ वरुणस्य कुक्षी उतास्मिन्न् अल्प उदके निलीनः ॥३॥

uteyaṃ bhūmir varuṇasya rājña utāsau dyaur bṛhatī dūreantā | uto samudrau varuṇasya kukṣī utāsminn alpa udake nilīnaḥ ||3||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

Both this earth is king Varuṇa's, and yonder great sky with distant margins (-ánta); also the two oceans are Varuṇa's paunches; also in this petty water is he hidden.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
