Sukta 83
धाम्नो॑धाम्नो राजन्नि॒तो व॑रुण मुञ्च नः । यदापो॑ अ॒घ्न्या इति॒ वरु॒णेति॒ यदू॑चि॒म ततो॑ वरुण मुञ्च नः
dhā́mno-dhā́mno rā́jan itó varuṇa muñca naḥ | yád ā́po aghnyā́ íti váruṇéti yád ūcim tátas varuṇa muñca naḥ
From bond on bond, O King, from hence, O Varuṇa, release us. Whatsoever we have spoken—‘the Waters are inviolable,’ and ‘Varuṇa’—from that, O Varuṇa, release us.
De vínculo em vínculo, ó Rei, daqui, ó Varuṇa, solta-nos. Tudo o que tenhamos dito — «As Águas são invioláveis» e «Varuṇa» — disso, ó Varuṇa, liberta-nos.
