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?
