Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·7·7.88
प्र शुन्ध्युवं वरुणाय प्रेष्ठाम् मतिं वसिष्ठ मीळ्हुषे भरस्व । य ईम् अर्वाञ्चं करते यजत्रं सहस्रामघं वृषणम् बृहन्तम् ॥
pra śundhyuvaṃ varuṇāya preṣṭhām matiṃ vasiṣṭha mīḷhuṣe bharasva | ya īm arvāñcaṃ karate yajatraṃ sahasrāmaghaṃ vṛṣaṇam bṛhantam ||
Present to Varuna thine hymn, Vasistha, bright, most delightful to the Bounteous Giver, Who bringeth on to us the Bull, the lofty, the Holy, laden with a thousand treasures.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अधा न्व् अस्य संदृशं जगन्वान् अग्नेर् अनीकं वरुणस्य मंसि । स्वर् यद् अश्मन्न् अधिपा उ अन्धो ऽभि मा वपुर् दृशये निनीयात् ॥
adhā nv asya saṃdṛśaṃ jaganvān agner anīkaṃ varuṇasya maṃsi | svar yad aśmann adhipā u andho 'bhi mā vapur dṛśaye ninīyāt ||
And now, as I am come before his presence, I take the face of Varuna for Agni's. So might he bring-Lord also of the darkness-the light in heaven that I may see its beauty!
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
आ यद् रुहाव वरुणश् च नावम् प्र यत् समुद्रम् ईरयाव मध्यम् । अधि यद् अपां स्नुभिश् चराव प्र प्रेङ्ख ईङ्खयावहै शुभे कम् ॥
ā yad ruhāva varuṇaś ca nāvam pra yat samudram īrayāva madhyam | adhi yad apāṃ snubhiś carāva pra preṅkha īṅkhayāvahai śubhe kam ||
When Varuna 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.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
वसिष्ठं ह वरुणो नाव्य् आधाद् ऋषिं चकार स्वपा महोभिः । स्तोतारं विप्रः सुदिनत्वे अह्नां यान् नु द्यावस् ततनन् याद् उषासः ॥
vasiṣṭhaṃ ha varuṇo nāvy ādhād ṛṣiṃ cakāra svapā mahobhiḥ | stotāraṃ vipraḥ sudinatve ahnāṃ yān nu dyāvas tatanan yād uṣāsaḥ ||
Varuna placed Vasistha in the vessel, and deftly with his night made him a Rsi. When days shone bright the Sage made him a singer, while the heavens broadened and the Dawns were lengthened.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
क्व त्यानि नौ सख्या बभूवुः सचावहे यद् अवृकम् पुरा चित् । बृहन्तम् मानं वरुण स्वधावः सहस्रद्वारं जगमा गृहं ते ॥
kva tyāni nau sakhyā babhūvuḥ sacāvahe yad avṛkam purā cit | bṛhantam mānaṃ varuṇa svadhāvaḥ sahasradvāraṃ jagamā gṛhaṃ te ||
What hath become of those our ancient friendships, when without enmity we walked together? I, Varuna, thou glorious Lord, have entered thy lofty home, thine house with thousand portals.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
य आपिर् नित्यो वरुण प्रियः सन् त्वाम् आगांसि कृणवत् सखा ते । मा त एनस्वन्तो यक्षिन् भुजेम यन्धि ष्मा विप्र स्तुवते वरूथम् ॥
ya āpir nityo varuṇa priyaḥ san tvām āgāṃsi kṛṇavat sakhā te | mā ta enasvanto yakṣin bhujema yandhi ṣmā vipra stuvate varūtham ||
If he, thy true ally, hath sinned against thee, still, Varuna, he is the friend thou lovest. Let us not, Living One, as sinners I know thee: give shelter, as a Sage, to him who lauds thee.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
ध्रुवासु त्वासु क्षितिषु क्षियन्तो व्य् अस्मत् पाशं वरुणो मुमोचत् । अवो वन्वाना अदितेर् उपस्थाद् यूयम् पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः ॥
dhruvāsu tvāsu kṣitiṣu kṣiyanto vy asmat pāśaṃ varuṇo mumocat | avo vanvānā aditer upasthād yūyam pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ ||
While we abide in these fixed habitations, and from the lap of Aditi win favour, May Varuna untie the bond that binds us. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
