वरुणेन यथा पाशैर् बद्ध एव-अभिदृश्यते) । तथा पापान् निगृह्णीयाद्) व्रतम् एतद्द् हि वारुणम् ॥
varuṇena yathā pāśair baddha eva-abhidṛśyate) | tathā pāpān nigṛhṇīyād) vratam etadd hi vāruṇam ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
As (a sinner) is seen bound with ropes by Varuṇa, even so let him. punish the wicked; that is his office in which he resembles Varuṇa.
