Rig Veda 5.63.7: Mandala 5, Sukta 63, Mantra 7
Sukta 5.63
धर्मणा मित्रावरुणा विपश्चिता व्रता रक्षेथे असुरस्य मायया । ऋतेन विश्वं भुवनं वि राजथः सूर्यमा धत्थो दिवि चित्र्यं रथम् ॥
dhármaṇā mitrāvaruṇā vipaścitā vratā́ rakṣethe ásurasya māyáyā | ṛténa víśvaṃ bhúvanaṃ ví rājathaḥ sū́ryam ā́ dhattho diví citryáṃ rátham ||
By the law of rightness, O Mitra and Varuṇa, wise in discernment, you guard the ordinances through the sovereign power of formation. By Ṛta you reign over all becoming; you set the Sun in heaven upon his radiant chariot—truth’s vision established above.
