Atharva Veda 4.16.6: Kanda 4, Anuvaka 2, Sukta 16, Mantra 6
Sukta 16
ये ते॒ पाशा॑ वरुण स॒प्तस॑प्त त्रे॒धा तिष्ठ॑न्ति॒ विषि॑ता॒ रुश॑न्तः । छि॒नन्तु॒ सर्वे॒ अनृ॑तं॒ वद॑न्तं॒ यः स॑त्यवा॒द्यति॒ तं सृ॑जन्तु
yé te pā́śā varuṇa saptá-sapta tredhā́ tíṣṭhanti víṣitā rúśantaḥ | chinántu sárve anṛ́taṃ vádantaṃ yáḥ satyavā́dyati táṃ sṛ́jantu ||
Those nooses of thine, O Varuṇa—seven and seven—threefold they stand, sent forth, and gleaming. Let them all cut down the speaker of untruth; but him who speaketh truth, let them release.
হে বৰুণ! তোমাৰ সেই পাষবোৰ—সাত আৰু সাত—ত্ৰিধা ৰূপে থিয় হৈ আছে, প্ৰেৰিত আৰু দীপ্তিমান। সিহঁতে সকলোৱে অনৃত কোৱা লোকক ছেদন কৰক; আৰু যি সত্য ক’য়, তাক মুক্ত কৰক।
