Hymn to Varuna.
1.
Wise, surely, through his might is his creation,
Who stemmed asunder spacious earth and heaven;
He pushed the sky, the bright and glorious, upward,
And stretched the starry sky and earth asunder.
2.
With my own heart I commune, how I ever
Can now approach Varuna’s sacred presence;
Will he accept my gift without displeasure?
