Mandala 7, Hymn 89

"LET me not yet, King Varuṇa, enter into the house of clay: Have mercy, spare me, Mighty Lord."

"When, Thunderer! I move along tremulous like a wind-blown skin, Have mercy, spare me, Mighty Lord."

"O Bright and Powerful God, through want of strength I erred and went astray Have mercy, spare me, Mighty Lord."

"Thirst found thy worshipper though he stood in the midst of water-fijods: Have mercy, spare me, Mighty Lord."

"O Varuṇa, whatever the offence may be which we as men commit against the heavenly host, When through our want of thought we violate thy laws, punish us not, O God, for that iniquity."
