Varuṇa, the path is resounding; like the sun you arouse the streams, the seas, the rivers. Creation was not created by the shoreless ones; he made the earth and mountain‑waters from the waters.

Varuṇa prepared a path for the sun; he set free the waters of the rivers genitive rated in the firmament;hastening (to his task), as a horse let loose rushes to (a flock of) mares, he divided the great nights from thedays.

VARUNA cut a pathway out for Surya, and led the watery floods of rivers onward. The Mares, as in a race, speed on in order. He made great channels for the days to follow.
