Atharva Veda 7.83: A prayer for deliverance from sin and other evils

Stablished amid the waters is, King Varuna, thy golden home.
Thence let the Sovran who maintains the statutes loose all bind-ing cords.

Hence free thou us, King Varuna, from each successive bond and tie.
As we have cried, O Varuna! have said, The Waters, they are kine, thence set us free, O Varuna.

Loosen the bonds, O Varuna, that hold us, loosen the bond.
above, between, and under.
So before Aditi may we be sinless under thy favouring auspices, Āditya!

Varuna, free us from all snares that bind us, Varuna's bonds, the upper and the lower.
Drive from us evil dream, drive off misfortune: then let us pass into the world of virtue.
