Atharva Veda 1.33.2: Kanda 1, Anuvaka 4, Sukta 33, Mantra 2
Sukta 33
यासां॒ राजा॒ वरु॑णो॒ याति॒ मध्ये॑ सत्यानृ॒ते अ॑व॒पश्य॒न् जना॑नाम्। या अ॒ग्निं गर्भं॑ दधि॒रे सु॒वर्णा॒स्ता न॒ आपः॒ शं स्यो॒ना भ॑वन्तु
yā́sāṃ rājā́ váruṇo yā́ti mádhye satyā́nṛte avapáśyan jánānām | yā́ agníṃ gárbhaṃ dadhiré suvarṇā́s tā́ na ā́paḥ śáṃ syónā bhavantu
In whose midmost space King Varuṇa moves, looking down on men, discerning truth and falsehood;—the Waters which have set Agni as an embryo within them, those golden Waters—may they be for us kindly, bringing weal.
W którego środkowej przestrzeni Król Varuṇa się porusza, patrząc na ludzi, rozróżniając prawdę i fałsz;, Wody, które umieściły Agni jako embrion w sobie, te złote Wody, niech będą dla nas łaskawe, przynoszące dobro.
