Anuvaka 8

1a Up with life, with fair life,     Up with the sap of plants,     Up with the force of Parjanya,     Up have I arisen along with the immortals.     b Fare along the wide atmosphere.     c Thou art the seat of Aditi.     d Sit on the seat of Aditi.     e The bull hath stablished the sky, the atmosphere;     Hath meted the breadth of the earth;     Hath set him in all worlds as king.     All these are Varuna's ordinances.     f He hath stretched out the sky over the woods;     He hath placed strength in horses, milk in kine;     Varuna hath set skill in the heart [1], Agni in dwellings,     The sun in the sky, the Soma on the hill.     g Thee, all-knowing god,     Thy rays bear upwards,     The sun for all to see.     h Come hither, ye oxen, strong to bear the yoke,     Tearless, slaying not man, furthering the prayer.     i Thou art the pillar of Varuna.     k Thou art the prop of Varuna's pillar.     I Varuna's noose is tied.
