वरु॑णस्य भा॒ग स्थ॑। अ॒पां शु॒क्रमा॑पो देवी॒र्वर्चो॑ अ॒स्मासु॑ धत्त । प्र॒जाप॑तेर्वो॒ धाम्ना॒स्मै लो॒काय॑ सादये
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।
