Rig Veda 10.107.7: Mandala 10, Sukta 107, Mantra 7
Sukta 10.107
दक्षिणाश्वं दक्षिणा गां ददाति दक्षिणा चन्द्रमुत यद्धिरण्यम् । दक्षिणान्नं वनुते यो न आत्मा दक्षिणां वर्म कृणुते विजानन् ॥
dakṣiṇā́śvaṃ dákṣiṇā gā́ṃ dadāti dákṣiṇā candrám utá yád dhíraṇyam | dakṣiṇā́nnaṃ vanute yó na ātmā́ dákṣiṇāṃ várma kṛṇute vijā́nān ||
Dakṣiṇā gibt das Ross der Kraft; Dakṣiṇā gibt die Kuh des Lichtes; Dakṣiṇā gibt den leuchtenden Mond und alles, was Gold ist. Dakṣiṇā erringt die Speise der Fülle: sie ist unser eigenes Selbst, wenn man, wissend, Dakṣiṇā als schützenden Panzer um das Sein legt.
