Rig Veda 2.28.6: Mandala 2, Sukta 28, Mantra 6
Sukta 2.28
अपो सु म्यक्ष वरुण भियसं मत्सम्राळृतावोऽनु मा गृभाय । दामेव वत्साद्वि मुमुग्ध्यंहो नहि त्वदारे निमिषश्चनेशे ॥
ápo su myakṣa varuṇa bhiyásaṃ mat samrā́ḷ ṛtā́vo 'ánu mā gṛbhāya | dā́meva vatsā́d ví mumugdhy áṃho náhi tvád āré ni-míṣaś canéśe ||
Drive away the fear from me, O Varuṇa, sovereign; do not seize me in the track of the Truth. As one releases a calf from the rope, so loosen from me the anguish of wrong; for without thee, even for a moment, the suffering one has no mastery.
