1.25.1
यच्चि॒द्धि ते॒ विशो॑ यथा॒ प्र दे॑व वरुण व्र॒तम् ।
मि॒नी॒मसि॒ द्यवि॑द्यवि ॥
O god Varuṇa, just as people break your ordinance, so we too violate it day after day.
1.25.2
मा नो॑ व॒धाय॑ ह॒त्नवे॑ जिहीळा॒नस्य॑ रीरधः ।
मा हृ॑णा॒नस्य॑ म॒न्यवे॑ ॥
Do not hand us over to killing or to slaying; do not let us fall prey to your wrath, you who are angry.
1.25.3
वि मृ॑ळी॒काय॑ ते॒ मनो॑ र॒थीरश्वं॒ न संदि॑तम् ।
गी॒र्भिर्व॑रुण सीमहि ॥
O Varuṇa, for your mercy we loosen your mind, as a charioteer unyokes a tied horse; we gladden you with songs.
1.25.4
परा॒ हि मे॒ विम॑न्यवः॒ पत॑न्ति॒ वस्य॑: इष्टये ।
वयो॒ न व॑स॒तीरुप॑ ॥
My wrathful thoughts fly away from me, seeking wealth and delight, as birds fly toward their nests.
1.25.5

When shall we approach Varuṇa, the lord of royal splendor, the far-seeing one, for his mercy?
1.25.6
तदित्स॑मा॒नमा॑शाते॒ वेन॑न्ता॒ न प्र यु॑च्छतः ।
धृ॒तव्र॑ताय दा॒शुषे॑ ॥
The two attain that same common path, striving, and do not part—for the one of firm vow, for the giver.
1.25.7
वेदा॒ यो वी॒नां प॒दम॒न्तरि॑क्षेण॒ पत॑ताम् ।
वेद॑ ना॒वः स॑मु॒द्रियः॑ ॥
He who knows the path of birds flying through the midspace knows also the sea-going course of the ships.
1.25.8
वेद॑ मा॒सो धृ॒तव्र॑तो॒ द्वाद॑श प्र॒जाव॑तः ।
वेदा॒ य उ॑प॒जाय॑ते ॥
Varuna, firm in his vows, knows the twelve months with their offspring, and he knows him who is born again.
1.25.9
वेद॒ वात॑स्य वर्त॒निमु॒रोर्ऋ॒ष्वस्य॑ बृह॒तः ।
वेदा॒ ये अ॒ध्यास॑ते ॥
He knows the course of the wind, and the path of the wide, mighty, vast (sky), and he knows those who dwell upon it.

Varuna, firm in his vows and wise in action, sat down among the dwellings to hold universal sovereignty.
1.25.11
अतो॒ विश्वा॒न्यद्भु॑ता चिकि॒त्वाँ अ॒भि प॑श्यति ।
कृ॒तानि॒ या च॒ कर्त्वा॑ ॥
Therefore the knowing Varuna sees all the wonders, both what has been done and what is yet to be done.

बिभ्र॑द्द्रा॒पिं हि॑र॒ण्ययं॒ वरु॑णो वस्त नि॒र्णिज॑म् ।
परि॒ स्पशो॒ नि षे॑दिरे ॥
Varuṇa bears a golden noose and dons a hidden mantle; his spies sit all around.
1.25.14
न यं दिप्स॑न्ति दि॒प्सवो॒ न द्रुह्वा॑णो॒ जना॑नाम् ।
न दे॒वम॒भिमा॑तयः ॥
Those who wish to harm do not harm him, nor the treacherous of men; hostile foes do not touch the god.

उ॒त यो मानु॑षे॒~ष्वा यश॑श्च॒क्रे असा॒म्या ।
अ॒स्माक॑मु॒दरे॒ष्वा ॥
He who has made glory among men, may he also place blamelessness within our bodies.

परा॑ मे यन्ति धी॒तयो॒ गावो॒ न गव्यू॑ती॒रनु॑ ।
इ॒च्छन्ती॑रुरु॒चक्ष॑सम् ॥
My thoughts go forth from me like cows toward their pastures, seeking the far-seeing one.
