Rig Veda 10.71.9: Mandala 10, Sukta 71, Mantra 9
Sukta 10.71
इमे ये नार्वाङ्न परश्चरन्ति न ब्राह्मणासो न सुतेकरासः । त एते वाचमभिपद्य पापया सिरीस्तन्त्रं तन्वते अप्रजज्ञयः ॥
imé yé nā́rvāṅ ná paráś caranti ná brāhmaṇā́so ná sutékarāsaḥ | tá eté vā́cam abhipádya pā́payā sirī́s tántraṃ tanvate áprjajñayaḥ ||
هؤلاء الذين لا يمضون قُدُمًا ولا يتجاوزون—ليسوا براهمنةً حقًّا، ولا صانعي سوما المعصور—يُقبِلون إلى فَاك (الكلمة/القول) بسُبُلٍ آثمة؛ غيرَ عارفين يمدّون سَدًى باليًا، نَسْجًا عاقرًا.
