Whoever nurtured and desired all creatures, who surveyed the abodes of Varuna’s fortress—gods went before his vow through all ways; may he make many others equal in heaven.
He who, passing amid those (regions of the firmament), given refuge to all their races, and all thedeities precede the chariot of Varuṇa, when manifesting his glories to perform his worship; may all ouradversaries perish.
He wraps these regions as a robe; he contemplates the tribes of Gods and all the works of mortal men. Before the home of Varuna all the Gods follow his decree.
