I am the sovereign ruler, my empire vast, as I rule all life, all Immortals obey. Varuṇa obeys my command, all gods follow. I am the king of men’s highest realm.
I am Varuṇa, the king. I received the first high celestial powers. Varuṇa obeys my command, all gods follow. I am the king of men’s highest realm.
I am Varuṇa, I am Indra: in their greatness, these are the two wide, deep regions, These two halves of the world I’ve made, just as Tvaṣṭar knows all beings, joined and held together.
I made the waters shed moisture, set the heavens firm in the order’s seat. By Law, the Son of Aditi, Law Observer, has spread the world in three measures.
Heroes with noble horses, eager for battle, chosen warriors, call on me in combat. I, Indra Maghavan, stir up the clash; I raise the dust, Lord of unmatched strength.
I did all this. The gods’ conquering power never stops me, no one opposes me. When praises and Soma make me joyful, both the boundless realms tremble.
All beings know your deeds, tell them to Varuṇa, great Disposer! You are renowned for slaying the Vṛtras. You made the floods flow, those obstructed.
Our ancestors were these, seven of Durgaha’s, when her son was captured. For her, they won by sacrifice Trasadasyu, a demigod, like Indra, conqueror of foes.
The wife of Purukutsa offered oblations to you, O Indra-Varuṇa, with homage. Then you gave King Trasadasyu, the demigod, the foe-slayer.
May we, rich in possessions, delight in wealth, gods in offerings, cattle in pastures; And that cow that doesn’t shrink from milking, O Indra-Varuṇa, give to us every day.
