Sukta 29
ययो रथः सत्यवर्त्मर्जुरश्मिर्मिथुया चरन्तमभियाति दूषयन्। स्तौमि मित्रावरुणौ नाथितो जोहवीमि तौ नो मुञ्चतमंहसः

Whose chariot holdeth true its course, with straightened reins, assaileth him who walketh falsely, smiting the corrupter—Mitra and Varuṇa I praise; in need I call on them: do ye release us from distress and sin.
