RV 1.163.4

त्रीणि त आहुर् दिवि बन्धनानि त्रीण्य् अप्सु त्रीण्य् अन्तः समुद्रे । उतेव मे वरुणश् छन्त्स्य् अर्वन् यत्रा त आहुः परमं जनित्रम् ॥

trīṇi ta āhur divi bandhanāni trīṇy apsu trīṇy antaḥ samudre | uteva me varuṇaś chantsy arvan yatrā ta āhuḥ paramaṃ janitram ||

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

Three bonds, they say, thou hast in heaven that bind thee, three in the waters, three within the ocean. To me thou seemest Varuna, O Courser, there where they say is thy sublimest birth-place.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
