विनिघ्नति त्वय्यथ जम्बुकौघं सनामकत्वाद्वरुणस्तदानीम् ।
भयाकुलो जम्बुकनामधेयं श्रुतिप्रसिद्धं व्यधितेति मन्ये ॥७॥

bhayaakulO jambukanaamadheyaM shruti prasiddhaM vyadhiteti manye || 7

When Thou began to destroy that army of jackals or jambukas, Varuna, the rain-godwas filled with fear, as he was also known by the name Jambuka. So he preferred to letthat name remain only in the Vedas,.
I believe that it is for this reason that Varuna's name as 'Jambuka' is not known
