स॒दृशी॑र॒द्य स॒दृशी॒रिदु॒ श्वो दी॒र्घं स॑चन्ते॒ वरु॑णस्य॒ धाम॑ । अ॒न॒व॒द्यास्त्रिं॒शतं॒ योज॑ना॒न्येकै॑का॒ क्रतुं॒ परि॑ यन्ति स॒द्यः
sadṛśīradya sadṛśīridu śvo dīrghaṃ sacante varuṇasya dhāma anavadyāstriṃśataṃ yojanānyekaikā kratuṃ pari yanti sadyaḥ
Like this is the heart, like that the distant heart: long they endure in Varuna's abode. Thirty immutable yojanas, some single, some many, surround the sacrifice even now.
The same today, the same tomorrow, the irreproachable (dawn) precede the distant course of Varuṇa by thirtyyojanas, and each in succession revolves in its (appointed) office.
The same in form to-day, the same tomorrow, they still keep Varuna's eternal statute. Blameless, in turn they traverse thirty regions, and dart across the spirit in a moment.
