Dear Sri Mohan,
The translations are more or less correct (except 1.22, which I'll 
cross verify with Griffith's translation. Of course, you can 
altogether ignore Griffith, if you aren't interested in anything 
written by 'indologists').

In the mean time, please go through Rig suktas addressed to VaruNa. 
Couldn't we claim the 'paratvam of VaruNa' from those sUktas too? (I 
have to dig up exact references, but the sUktas shouldn't be hard to 
find in Rig translations).

Regards,
Kasturi
