[from Taittireeya Aaranyak, Mahaa Naaraayan Upanishatsu, Pratham Bhaag]
Perhaps this Aghmarshan Mantra
starts from Hiranya Shringam Varunam....
Our ancestors believed that the ultimate relief from sins can be delivered
to us only by water. They praised the various deities presiding over water
and its sources and also the great rivers found in India at that time with
a request the all their sins should be washed off.
Meaning
"I take refuge in Varun who is having the golden hue and who adorns a golden diadem.
O Varun, having been entreated by me please grant me the Teertham (saving
grace in the shape of holy waters)
Let the waters purify me of the sin of enjoying the belongings of bad
people and acceptance of gifts from sinners.
May Indra, Varun, Brihaspati and Savitaa completely destroy whatever sin
my people or I have committed in thought word and action.
My respectful salutation to the Badavaanal (The fire submerged in water),
my salutations to Indra, my salutations to Varun, my salutations to Vaarunee, the
consort of Varun, and my salutations to all the deities of waters.
May, as a result of my this prayer and the power of this Mantra, all that
is injurious, impure and troublesome in water be destroyed.
May the king Varun efface by his benevolent and strong hand whatever
sins I have incurred by unlawful and limitless eating, unlawful drinking
and accepting gift from one who is not eligible to grant a gift, or which
gift is given to me impelling me to perform an unlawful act.
Thus being sinless, spotless, unbound from evil and bondage, may I become
eligible to ascend the path of heaven and gain equal status with Brahman.
May Varun the effacer of sins who dwells in all sources of water like
ocean, rivers, tanks and wells purify us.
O Ganga, O Yamunaa, O Saraswatee, O Shatadri, O Marudhwrudhaa, O Arjikiya,
all of you mother rivers, come together to listen to this hymn of mine
along with Parushni, Asiknee, Vitastaa and Sushomaa..*"
