Atharva Veda 7.25: Praise of Vishnu and Varuna
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895–96) · From The Hymns of the Atharva-Veda (1895–96)
The early morning prayer hath come to Vishnu and Varuna, Lords through might, whom none hath equalled, Gods by whose power the realms of air were stablished, strongest and most heroic in their vigour.
The early prayer hath ever come to Vishnu and Varuna by that God's high power and statute.
In whose control is all this world that shineth, all that hath powers to see and all that breatheth.
