5.11.1
कथं महे असुरायाब्रवीरिह कथं पित्रे हरये त्वेषनृम्णः ।
पृश्निं वरुण दक्षिणां ददावान् पुनर्मघ त्वं मनसाचिकित्सीः ॥ ५.११.१ ॥
How did you speak here to the great Asura? How did you speak to the father and to the blazing, tawny one? O Varuṇa, having given the speckled cow as dakṣiṇā, O bountiful one again, you considered it with your mind.
5.11.2
न कामेन पुनर्मघो भवामि सं चक्षे कं पृश्निमेतामुपाजे ।
केन नु त्वमथर्वन् काव्येन केन जातेनासि जातवेदाः ॥ ५.११.२ ॥
Not by desire do I become bountiful again; I look at this speckled cow and approach it. O Atharvan, by what poetic wisdom and by what birth are you the knower of all births?
5.11.3
सत्यमहं गभीरः काव्येन सत्यं जातेनास्मि जातवेदाः ।
न मे दासो नार्यो महित्वा व्रतं मीमाय यदहं धरिष्ये ॥ ५.११.३ ॥
Truly I am deep in poetic wisdom; truly by birth I am the knower of all births. Neither my servant nor a noble, by his greatness, can violate the vow that I uphold.
5.11.4
न त्वदन्यः कवितरो न मेधया धीरतरो वरुण स्वधावन् ।
त्वं ता विश्वा भुवनानि वेत्थ स चिन् नु त्वज्जनो मायी बिभाय ॥ ५.११.४ ॥
No other poet is wiser than you, and none is steadier in wisdom. O Varuṇa, self-powered one, you know all the worlds; even your man, being deceitful, is afraid.
5.11.5
त्वं ह्यङ्ग वरुण स्वधावन् विश्वा वेत्थ जनिम सुप्रणीते ।
किं रजस एना परो अन्यदस्त्येना किं परेणावरममुर ॥ ५.११.५ ॥
Truly you, dear Varuṇa, self-powered one, know all births, O good guide. Is there anything else beyond this realm? What is lower than this, O immortal one?
5.11.6
एकं रजस एना परो अन्यदस्त्येना पर एकेन दुर्णशं चिदर्वाक् ।
तत्ते विद्वान् वरुण प्र ब्रवीम्यधोवचसः पणयो भवन्तु नीचैर्दासा उप सर्पन्तु भूमिम् ॥ ५.११.६ ॥
One lies on this side of the realm, another beyond it; hard to cross by the one, yet it is near here. Varuṇa, knowing this, I declare it to you: let the lying paṇis be brought low, let them become slaves and crawl upon the earth.
5.11.7
त्वं ह्यङ्ग वरुण ब्रवीषि पुनर्मघेष्ववद्यानि भूरि ।
मो षु पणींरभ्येतावतो भून् मा त्वा वोचन्न् अराधसं जनासः ॥ ५.११.७ ॥
Beloved Varuṇa, you again and again speak of the many faults among the gifts. O paṇis, let it not go further than this that you become hostile; let people not call you ungenerous.
5.11.8
मा मा वोचन्न् अराधसं जनासः पुनस्ते पृश्निं जरितर्ददामि ।
स्तोत्रं मे विश्वमा याहि शचीभिरन्तर्विश्वासु मानुषीषु दिक्षु ॥ ५.११.८ ॥
Let not people call me ungenerous. Again I give you a spotted cow, O singer. Come to all my praise with your powers, within all the human directions.
5.11.9
आ ते स्तोत्राण्युद्यतानि यन्त्वन्तर्विश्वासु मानुषीषु दिक्षु ।
देहि नु मे यन् मे अदत्तो असि युज्यो मे सप्तपदः सखासि ॥ ५.११.९ ॥
May the praises raised for you go within all the human directions. Now give me what has not been given to me — you are my seven-footed friend and companion.
5.11.10
समा नौ बन्धुर्वरुण समा जा वेदाहं तद्यन् नावेषा समा जा ।
ददामि तद्यत्ते अदत्तो अस्मि युज्यस्ते सप्तपदः सखास्मि ॥ ५.११.१० ॥
Varuṇa, our bond is the same, our birth is the same; I know that this birth between us is alike. I give what was not given to you — I am your companion and seven-footed friend.
5.11.11
देवो देवाय गृणते वयोधा विप्रो विप्राय स्तुवते सुमेधाः ।
अजीजनो हि वरुण स्वधावन्न् अथर्वाणं पितरं देवबन्धुम् ।
तस्मा उ राधः कृणुहि सुप्रशस्तं सखा नो असि परमं च बन्धुः ॥ ५.११.११ ॥
God to the praiser, the life-giver; the inspired seer to the inspired seer, the praiser's good-minded one. O Varuṇa, possessor of your own power, you brought forth Atharvan, father and kinsman of the gods. Make for him most praiseworthy wealth; you are our friend and supreme kinsman.
