Sukta 92
सु॒दे॒वो अ॑सि वरुण॒ यस्य॑ ते स॒प्त सिन्ध॑वः । अ॒नु॒क्षर॑न्ति का॒कुदं॑ सू॒र्यं सुषि॒रामि॑व
sudévo asi varuṇa yásya te saptá síndhavaḥ | anukṣáranti kākúdaṃ sū́ryaṃ suṣirā́m iva ||
Graciously divine art thou, O Varuṇa, whose seven rivers follow their flowing. They stream on toward the Sun’s high crest, as through a land well-channeled with fair veins.
वरुण, तुम बहुत बड़े भगवान हो। तुम्हारे पास सात नदियाँ हैं जो तुम्हारे पीछे चलती हैं। यह नदियाँ सूर्य की तरफ जाती हैं, जैसे खेत में पानी की लाइन चलती है।
