Vedic Literature > Sandhya Mantrās > Prayer for pardon of our offenses

imam me varuņa shrudhī havamadyā cha mŗdaya, tvāmavasyurāchake.

[RV (1.25.19), Sama (1585), SYV (21.1), TB: (2.1.11.6)]

O Varuņa, please fulfill this prayer of mine and make me happy here and now. I pray for Thy protection.

 

tattvā  yāmi brahmaņā vandamānastadashāste yajamāno havirbhiĥ.

ahedamāno varuņeha bodhyurusham sa mā na āyuĥ pramoşhīĥ.

[RV (1.24.11), KYV (2.1.11.6), SYV (18.49), (21.2)]

I seek refuge in Thee uttering the Vedic mantrās. The sacrificers seek Thee with the ingredients of offering.

 

yachchiddhite visho yathā pradeva varuņa vratam, minīmasi dyavi dyavi.

[RV 1.25.1, KYV 3.4.11.4]

O famous Varuņa, please accept my prayer and don't ignore it. Please do not shorten my span of life.

 

yatkinchedam varuņa daivye jane abhidroham manuşhyāshcharāmasi,

achittīyattava dharmā yuyopima mā nastasmādenaso deva rīrişhaĥ.

[RV (7.89.5), Atharva, (6.51.3), KYV (3.4.11.6)]

O Lord Varuņa, please protect us without punishing us for sins committed by us in different ways—by omitting to perform daily Thy worship like the ignorant folk, by committing frauds on the celestials because of human ignorance or by infringing the path of righteousness laid down by you.

 

kitavāso yadriripurna dīvi yadvāgha satyamuta yanna vidmā.

sarvā tā vişhya shithireva devāthā te syāma varuņa priyāsaĥ.

[RV (5.85.8), KYV (3.4.11.6)]

O Varuņa, please expunge the sin like those attributed to me unjustly by wicked people like gamblers who go where the good do not go or the sins committed by me consciously or unconsciously. We must ever remain beloved of you.
