And if he desires the world of perfumes and garlands, by his mere thought perfumes and garlands come to him. Having obtained the world of perfumes and garlands, he is happy.
Sama Veda, Chandogya Upanishad VIII, II – The Fulfilment of Desires through Self-Knowledge, 6
Loose me from my sin as from a bond that binds me. May my life swell the stream of your river of Right! Let the thread of my song not be snapped while I sing or my work be cut short before its completion!
Rig Veda II, 28, 5
Drive far, O Varuna, all perils. Receive me graciously, O King. Like a calf from its cords, undo me from the troubles that bind me. Without you I am powerless even to open my eyes.
Rig Veda II, 28, 6
Spare us, O Varuna, those dreadful weapons that strike the sinner when you utter the word. Let us not pass from light into darkness. Disperse, for our comfort, all that would harm us.
Rig Veda II, 28, 7
We will sing your praises, O God almighty, now and forever, even as of old. On yourself, O Immutable, are fixed our resolves, firmly established as if upon a mountain.
Rig Veda II, 28, 8
