Varuṇa! The all-seeing sovereign, lord of cosmic law and order! Thou who rulest the heavens and the earth, the seen and the unseen realms. Before thee, nothing remaineth hidden. Thy thousand eyes see all things, and no creature can escape thy gaze.

Thou art the guardian of ṛta—the eternal order that holdeth the cosmos in balance. The sun riseth and seteth according to thy decree. The winds blow at thy command. The waters flow in their appointed courses. Every star hangeth in the heavens by thy will. The fabric of existence itself is woven from thy law.

Thou art the most terrible of gods, O Varuṇa, and yet the most just. When a man speaketh falsehood, thou knowest it. When he breaketh his oath, thy nets entangle him. When he stealeth or killeth or committest any transgression, thy eye followeth him even into the darkest places. Thou art the keeper of cosmic justice, and from thy judgment there is no escape.

Yet thou art also merciful, O sovereign lord. Those who acknowledge their sins and cry out for forgiveness may find that thy anger is tempered with compassion. Thou understandest the weakness of mortal flesh. Thou knowest that we struggle to maintain ṛta in a world full of chaos and temptation.

We sing thy praise, O Varuṇa! We acknowledge thy supremacy. We confess our transgressions and beg thy forgiveness. Grant us the wisdom to live in harmony with thy cosmic law. Help us to speak truth, to keep our oaths, to act with justice toward all creatures.

O guardian of order, accept our devotion. Let us walk beneath thy thousand eyes unafraid, knowing that we strive to honor thy law.
