Sukta 8.41

Devata: Varuṇa (with refrain-like cadence continuing into adjacent verses)

यस्य श्वेता विचक्षणा तिस्रो भूमीरधिक्षितः । त्रिरुत्तराणि पप्रतुर्वरुणस्य ध्रुवं सदः स सप्तानामिरज्यति नभन्तामन्यके समे ॥

yásya śvetā́ vi-cakṣaṇā́ tisró bhū́mīr adhi-kṣitáḥ | trír uttárāṇi papratúr váruṇasya dhruváṃ sádaḥ | sá saptā́nām irajyati nábhantām anyaké samé ||

ญาณทัศนะอันผ่องใสสว่างของท่านสถิตเหนือสามโลกแห่งความเป็นอยู่ของเรา; สามครั้งยิ่งดันขึ้นไปถึงที่ประทับอันมั่นคงแน่วแน่ของวรุณะ (Varuṇa) ในเบื้องสูง. ท่านทรงประสานพลังเจ็ดชั้นภายในเรา; ขอให้พลังอื่นทั้งหลายได้ระดับอันถูกต้องในเอกภาพร่วมกันนั้น.
