4.16.1
बृहन्न् एषामधिष्ठाता अन्तिकादिव पश्यति ।
य स्तायन् मन्यते चरन्त्सर्वं देवा इदं विदुः ॥ ४.१६.१ ॥
The great overseer of these beings sees as if from nearby. The gods know all this about one who moves stealthily and thinks, "No one sees."
4.16.2
यस्तिष्ठति चरति यश्च वञ्चति यो निलायं चरति यः प्रतङ्कम् ।
द्वौ संनिषद्य यन् मन्त्रयेते राजा तद्वेद वरुणस्तृतीयः ॥ ४.१६.२ ॥
He who stands, who moves, who deceives, who roams in hiding, who wanders as a spy, and what two sitting together plot — the king knows that; Varuṇa, the third, knows it.
4.16.3
उतेयं भूमिर्वरुणस्य राज्ञ उतासौ द्यौर्बृहती दूरेअन्ता ।
उतो समुद्रौ वरुणस्य कुक्षी उतास्मिन्न् अल्प उदके निलीनः ॥ ४.१६.३ ॥
This earth belongs to King Varuṇa, and so does that vast sky whose ends are far; both oceans are Varuṇa's bellies, and whoever lies hidden even in this little water is his too.
4.16.4
उत यो द्यामतिसर्पात्परस्तान् न स मुच्यातै वरुणस्य राज्ञः ।
दिव स्पशः प्र चरन्तीदमस्य सहस्राक्षा अति पश्यन्ति भूमिम् ॥ ४.१६.४ ॥
Should anyone creep beyond even the sky, he is not freed from King Varuṇa. The sky's spies move toward him; the thousand-eyed ones behold this earth.
4.16.5
सर्वं तद्राजा वरुणो वि चष्टे यदन्तरा रोदसी यत्परस्तात् ।
संख्याता अस्य निमिषो जनानामक्षान् इव श्वघ्नी नि मिनोति तानि ॥ ४.१६.५ ॥
King Varuṇa sees clearly all that is between heaven and earth and all that is beyond them. The blinks of people are counted by him; as a gambler casts his dice, so he lays them out.
4.16.6
ये ते पाशा वरुण सप्तसप्त त्रेधा तिष्ठन्ति विषिता रुषन्तः ।
छिनन्तु सर्वे अनृतं वदन्तं यः सत्यवाद्यति तं सृजन्तु ॥ ४.१६.६ ॥
O Varuṇa, your seven-times-seven nooses stand threefold, stretched out and shining; let them all cut the one who speaks falsehood, and let them release the one who speaks truth.
4.16.7
शतेन पाशैरभि धेहि वरुणैनं मा ते मोच्यनृतवाङ्नृचक्षः ।
आस्तां जाल्म उदरं श्रंशयित्वा कोश इवाबन्धः परिकृत्यमानः ॥ ४.१६.७ ॥
O Varuṇa, bind him with a hundred nooses; let the liar who spies on men not be released by you. Let that deceiver remain with his belly hanging down, like a loosened bag, cut away on every side.
4.16.8
यः समाभ्यो वरुणो यो व्याभ्यो यः संदेश्यो वरुणो यो विदेश्यो ।
यो दैवो वरुणो यश्च मानुषः ॥ ४.१६.८ ॥
Varuṇa who is for the equal, Varuṇa who is for the distinct, Varuṇa who is for the near, Varuṇa who is for the far, the divine Varuṇa, and the human one.
4.16.9
तैस्त्वा सर्वैरभि ष्यामि पाशैरसावामुष्यायणामुष्याः पुत्र ।
तान् उ ते सर्वान् अनुसंदिशामि ॥ ४.१६.९ ॥
With all those nooses I bind you; this one, son of so-and-so, son of so-and-so's wife. All of them I send after you.
