Mantra 25

यथा देवेष्वमृतं यथैषु सत्यमाहितम्। एवा मे वरणो मणिः कीर्तिं भूतिं नि यच्छतु तेजसा मा समुक्षतु यशसा समनक्तु मा

As among the gods immortality is, as in these truth is established,—so may the Varuṇa-amulet for me hold fast fame and thriving; with splendour may it bedew me, with glory may it anoint me.
