Behold, the cosmos obeyeth thee, O Mitra-Varuṇa! The stars wheel in their courses at thy command; the seasons turn by thy decree. The very substance of being floweth from thy hands. Thou art the warp and weft of all that existeth.

What is thy dominion? It is measureless and eternal. Thou rulest not with tyranny but with wisdom. Thy justice is tempered with mercy; thy strength is bound by compassion. The universe runneth according to thy law, and all things move toward the fulfillment of thy purpose.

The gods themselves acknowledge thy sovereignty! Even Indra, mightiest of the divine, boweth before thee. The Aśvins, fleet as the wind, obey thy voice. The Maruts, terrible in their power, accept thy governance. All things in heaven and earth and the waters beneath the earth are subject unto thee.

Thy cosmic sovereignty is absolute and unchallenged. Yet thou dost not use thy power to oppress or destroy, but to sustain and uphold. Thou art the parent of all being, and like a wise parent, thou guidest thy children toward wisdom and growth.

Therefore we praise thee with grateful hearts! We acknowledge thy supremacy; we honor thy dominion; we trust thy judgment. May thy will be done throughout the cosmos. May thy justice reign eternal. May all creatures know thy mercy and thy truth. O thou who art the source and sustenance of all things—eternal glory to thee!
