नमः॑ पु॒रा ते॑ वरुणो॒त नू॒नमु॒ताप॒रं तु॑विजात ब्रवाम । त्वे हि कं॒ पर्व॑ते॒ न श्रि॒तान्यप्र॑च्युतानि दूळभ व्र॒तानि॑
namaḥ purā te varuṇota nūnamutāparaṃ tuvijāta bravāma tve hi kaṃ parvate na śritānyapracyutāni dūḷabha vratāni
Hail to you, Varuṇa, in your ancient dwelling; indeed I declare the foremost of your powers. You, on what mountain do not fall the unassailable holy vows that are hard to break?
As we have offered adoration to you, Varuṇa, of old, in like manner as we offer it now, so may we offer it in future (to you), who are everywhere present; for in you, who are difficult of attainment, as in an (immoveable) mountain, all holy acts are assembled, and are not to be dissevered.
O mighty Varuna, now and hereafter, even as of old, will we speak forth our worship. For in thyself, invincible God, thy statutes ne�er to be moved are fixed as on a mountain.
