Rig Veda 10.12.5: Mandala 10, Sukta 12, Mantra 5

Sukta 10.12

Devata: Implicitly the King (Varuṇa-like sovereign of ṛta) and explicitly Mitra; also the collective Devāḥ as invoked powers.
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (probable; requires verification).

किं स्विन्नो राजा जगृहे कदस्याति व्रतं चकृमा को वि वेद । मित्रश्चिद्धि ष्मा जुहुराणो देवाञ्छ्लोको न यातामपि वाजो अस्ति ॥

kíṃ svin no rājā́ jagṛhe kád asyā́ti vratáṃ cakṛmā kó ví veda | mitráś cid dhí ṣmā juhurāṇó devā́ñ chlóko ná yātām ápi vājó ásti ||

ماذا، حقًّا، أخذ الملكُ منّا؟ وأيَّ جزءٍ من vratá (العهد/الناموس المقدّس) قد تجاوزناه؟ ومن ذا الذي يعلم على الحقيقة؟ حتى مِترا—وهو يقرّب القرابين وينادي الآلهة—لا يجد ممرًّا واضحَ الصوت لمجيئهم؛ غير أنّ vāja (فيض القوّة/القدرة) ما يزال قائمًا.
