Guardian of the West

 

So I´ve been experimenting with ChatGPT again. Here is a newly-composed (?) hymn to the Vedic god Varuna...

🌊 A Hymn to Varuṇa

1.
O Varuṇa, Lord of the far-spreading sky,
whose eye is the sun upon all worlds,
you encompass the oceans and the clouds;
your law is the circle that never is broken.
From you flow the waters of truth and mercy.

2.
As the river returns to the sea,
so let my wandering mind return to you.
Cleanse me of falsehood and forgetfulness,
unbind the cords of guilt and fear.
Let your clear stream run through my heart.

3.
Great guardian of order, vast and kind,
friend of the truthful, refuge of the humble,
may I live beneath your open heavens
in harmony with your eternal law.
So I bow, saying: Om Varunāya Namah.
