यदापो अघ्न्या इति वरुणेति यदूचिम। तस्मात् सहस्रवीर्य मुञ्च नः पर्यंहसः

What we have uttered—‘the Waters are inviolable,’ and ‘O Varuṇa’—by virtue of that, O thou of thousandfold might, release us from the encompassing distress.
जो हमने कहा—‘आपः अघ्न्या (अहिंसनीय/अवध्य) हैं’ और ‘हे वरुण’—उस वचन-बल से, हे सहस्रवीर्य, हमें चारों ओर से घेरने वाले अंहस (संकट/पाप-बन्धन) से मुक्त कर।
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (late book; specific ṛṣi attribution varies in ancillary lists)
