Rig Veda 7.86.6: Mandala 7, Sukta 86, Mantra 6
Sukta 7.86
न स स्वो दक्षो वरुण ध्रुतिः सा सुरा मन्युर्विभीदको अचित्तिः । अस्ति ज्यायान्कनीयस उपारे स्वप्नश्चनेदनृतस्य प्रयोता ॥
ná sá svó dákṣo váruṇa dhrutíḥ sā́ surā́ mányur vibhī́dako ácittiḥ | ásti jyā́yān kánīyasa upāré svápnaś canéd anṛ́tasya prayotā́ ||
No es esto, oh Varuṇa, mi propio discernimiento recto, ni un sostén firme: es embriaguez, es ira que empuja al temor, es falta de conciencia. El mayor puede deslizarse al estado del menor; aun el sueño puede volverse incitador de la falsedad: hay fuerzas en nosotros que desvían la voluntad de lo recto.
