उपास्महे वरुणं अपां राजा ऋतस्य पथिभिर्धिया
तन्नो देवा अनुमदन्तु यज्ञं सुवीर्यम्
Upasmahe Varunam Apam Raja Ritasya Pathibhirdhiya
Tanno Deva Anumadantu Yajnam Suviryam
With illumined thought along the paths of Cosmic Order we worship Varuna, sovereign king dwelling within the cosmic waters;
May the Gods rejoice in our sacrifice and grant us heroic spiritual strength.
