ददिर् हि मह्यं वरुणो दिवः कविर् वचोभिर् उग्रैर् नि रिणामि ते विषम् । खातम् अखातम् उत सक्तम् अग्रभम् इरेव धन्वन् नि जजास ते विषम्

dadir hi mahyaṃ varuṇo divaḥ kavir vacobhir ugrair ni riṇāmi te viṣam | khātam akhātam uta saktam agrabham ireva dhanvan ni jajāsa te viṣam

For Varuṇa, the sage of heaven, is a giver to me; with mighty words I make thy poison flow away. I have seized what is dug and undug and also what has stuck fast; like drink in a desert, thy poison has failed.
