  1. Ṛgveda 2.28.1, English THIS laud of the self-radiant wise Aditya shall be supreme o'er all that is in greatness. Beg renown of Varuna the Mighty, the God exceeding kind to him who worships. Ralph T.H. Griffith
  2. Ṛgveda 2.28.2, English Having extolled thee. Varuna, with thoughtful care may we have high fortune in thy service, Sniffing thy praises like the fires at coming, day after day, of mornings rich in cattle. Ralph T.H. Griffith
  3. Ṛgveda 2.28.3, English May we be in thy keeping, O thou Leader wide-ruling Varuna, Lord of many heroes. O sons of Aditi, for ever faithful, pardon us, Gods, admit us to your friendship. Ralph T.H. Griffith
  4. Ṛgveda 2.28.4, English He made them flow, the Aditya, the Sustainer: the rivers run by Varuna's commandment. These feel no weariness, nor cease from flowing: swift have they flown like birds in air around us. Ralph T.H. Griffith
  5. Ṛgveda 2.28.5, English Loose me from sin as from a bond that binds me: may we swell, Varuna, thy spring of Order. Let not my thread, while I weave song, be severed, nor my work's sum, before the time, be shattered. Ralph T.H. Griffith
  6. Ṛgveda 2.28.6, English Far from me, Varuna, remove all danger accept me graciously, thou Holy Sovran. Cast off, like cords that hold a calf, my troubles: I am not even mine eyelid's lord without thee. Ralph T.H. Griffith
  7. Ṛgveda 2.28.7, English Strike us not, Varuna, with those dread weapons which, Asura, at thy bidding wound the sinner. Let us not pass away from light to exile. Scatter, that we may live, the men who hate us Ralph T.H. Griffith
  8. Ṛgveda 2.28.8, English O mighty Varuna, now and hereafter, even as of old, will we speak forth our worship. For in thyself, invincible God, thy statutes never to be moved are fixed as on a mountain. Ralph T.H. Griffith
  9. Ṛgveda 2.28.9, English Move far from me what sins I have committed: let me not suffer, King, for guilt of others. Full many a morn remains to dawn upon us: in these, O Varuna, while we live direct us. Ralph T.H. Griffith
  10. Ṛgveda 2.28.10, English O King, whoever, be he friend or kinsman, hath threatened me affrighted in my slumber- If any wolf or robber fain would harm us, therefrom, O Varuna, give thou us protection. Ralph T.H. Griffith
