The man, O King, be he workmate or friend, who has scared me in a dream, enhancing my fears, and the thief and the wolf who plan to harm us– from these, O Varuna, protect us, we pray!
Rig Veda II, 28, 10
May I never be deprived of my donor beloved, of my generous friend, O Varuna! Never may I lack, O King, well-appointed resources! May we speak, as men of valor, a strong word in the assembly!
Rig Veda II, 28, 11
The peoples are wise through the greatness of him who has fixed in their stations the heaven and the earth who has thrust up on high the vast dome of the sky and the stars and has spread out the earth down below.
Rig Veda VII, 80, 1
I muse in my heart and I ponder this question: When shall I again be at one with Varuna? Will he accept without rancor my offering? When, reassured, shall I taste of his mercy?
Rig Veda VII, 80, 2
Maitreyi said: Venerable Sir, if indeed the whole earth full of wealth belonged to me, would I be immortal through that or not? No, replied Yajnavalkya, your life would be just like that of people who have plenty. Of Immortality, however, there is no hope through wealth.
Yajur Veda, Brihadaranyaka Upanishad IV, V-Yajnavalkya and Maitreyi (II), 3
