Rig Veda 2.28.10: Mandala 2, Sukta 28, Mantra 10
Sukta 2.28
यो मे राजन्युज्यो वा सखा वा स्वप्ने भयं भीरवे मह्यमाह । स्तेनो वा यो दिप्सति नो वृको वा त्वं तस्माद्वरुण पाह्यस्मान् ॥
yó me rájan yújyo vā sákhā vā svápne bhayáṃ bhīráve máhyam ā́ha | stenó vā yó dípsati no vṛ́ko vā tváṃ tásmād varuṇa pāhy asmā́n ||
O King Varuṇa, whether it is one bound to me in service or even a friend who, in dream, speaks fear into my timid being; whether it is a thief who seeks to steal our inner riches or a wolf-like force that would devour—do you guard us from that.
