Hail to you, Varuṇa, with reverent offerings and great oblations. O king, may the gods' vigour not fail us; these deeds (rites) were made by the swift chariot.
Varuṇa, we deprecate your wrath with prostrations, with sacrifices, with oblations; averter of misfortune, wise and illustrious, be present amongst us, and mitigate the evils we have committed.
With bending down, oblations, sacrifices, O Varuna, we deprecate thine anger: Wise Asura, thou King of wide dominion, loosen the bonds of sins by us committed.
