Sukta 7.88
क्व त्यानि नौ सख्या बभूवुः सचावहे यदवृकं पुरा चित् । बृहन्तं मानं वरुण स्वधावः सहस्रद्वारं जगमा गृहं ते ॥
kvá tyā́ni nau sakhyā́ babhūvuḥ sácāvahe yád avṛkáṃ purā́ cit | bृहántaṃ mā́naṃ varuṇa svadhāvaḥ sahásra-dvāraṃ jagamā gṛháṃ te ||
Where now are those former friendships of ours, when we moved together in a oneness, entering even in the ancient past into the harm-free wideness? O Varuṇa, master of self-law, I have come again to your vast home with its thousand gates—may that wide Truth receive me.
