Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·7·7.89
मो षु वरुण मृन्मयं गृहं राजन्न् अहं गमम् । मृळा सुक्षत्र मृळय ॥
mo ṣu varuṇa mṛnmayaṃ gṛhaṃ rājann ahaṃ gamam | mṛḷā sukṣatra mṛḷaya ||
Let me not yet, King Varuna, enter into the house of clay: Have mercy, spare me, Mighty Lord.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
यद् एमि प्रस्फुरन्न् इव दृतिर् न ध्मातो अद्रिवः । मृळा सुक्षत्र मृळय ॥
yad emi prasphurann iva dṛtir na dhmāto adrivaḥ | mṛḷā sukṣatra mṛḷaya ||
When, Thunderer! I move along tremulous like a wind-blown skin, Have mercy, spare me, Mighty Lord.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
क्रत्वः समह दीनता प्रतीपं जगमा शुचे । मृळा सुक्षत्र मृळय ॥
kratvaḥ samaha dīnatā pratīpaṃ jagamā śuce | mṛḷā sukṣatra mṛḷaya ||
O Bright and Powerful God, through want of strength I erred and went astray Have mercy, spare me, Mighty Lord.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अपाम् मध्ये तस्थिवांसं तृष्णाविदज् जरितारम् । मृळा सुक्षत्र मृळय ॥
apām madhye tasthivāṃsaṃ tṛṣṇāvidaj jaritāram | mṛḷā sukṣatra mṛḷaya ||
Thirst found thy worshipper though he stood in the midst of water-fjords: Have mercy, spare me, Mighty Lord.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
यत् किं चेदं वरुण दैव्ये जने ऽभिद्रोहम् मनुष्याश् चरामसि । अचित्ती यत् तव धर्मा युयोपिम मा नस् तस्माद् एनसो देव रीरिषः ॥
yat kiṃ cedaṃ varuṇa daivye jane 'bhidroham manuṣyāś carāmasi | acittī yat tava dharmā yuyopima mā nas tasmād enaso deva rīriṣaḥ ||
O Varuna, whatever the offence may be which we as men commit against the heavenly host, When through our want of thought we violate thy laws, punish us not, O God, for that iniquity.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
