उपास्महे वरुणं सम्राट् ऋतस्य पथिभिर्धिया
तन्नो देवा अनुमदन्तु यज्ञं सुवीर्यम्
Upasmahe Varunam Samrat Ritasya Pathibhirdhiya
Tanno Deva Anumadantu Yajnam Suviryam
With illumined thought along the paths of Cosmic Order we worship Varuna, universal sovereign of the waters and skies;
May the Gods rejoice in our sacrifice and grant us heroic spiritual strength.
