váruṇasya bhāgá sthá | apā́ṃ śukrám ā́po devī́r várcó asmā́su dhatta | prajā́pater vó dhā́mnā́smái lokā́ya sādáye

Ye are Varuṇa’s portion. O bright Ones of the Waters, O Waters, Goddesses, bestow ye splendour upon us. By Prajāpati’s ordinance—by your own established might—do I seat this man in yonder world (his proper realm).

यह पानी वरुण का हिस्सा है। पानी के चमकने वाले देवी, तुम हमें चमक और ताकत दो। प्रजापति के नियम से मैं इस आदमी को ऊपर वाली दुनिया में बिठा देता हूँ।
