Rig Veda 2.28.7: Mandala 2, Sukta 28, Mantra 7
Sukta 2.28
मा नो वधैर्वरुण ये त इष्टावेनः कृण्वन्तमसुर भ्रीणन्ति । मा ज्योतिषः प्रवसथानि गन्म वि षू मृधः शिश्रथो जीवसे नः ॥
mā́ no vadháir varuṇa yé ta iṣṭā́v énaḥ kṛṇvántam asura bhrīṇánti | mā́ jyótiṣaḥ pra-vasáthāni ganma ví ṣū́ mṛ́dhaḥ śiśratho jīváse naḥ ||
Do not strike us with the slayings, O Varuṇa, when men in thy service accuse the doer of fault, O Asura. Let us not go to the far abodes away from the light; loosen utterly the hostile powers, so that we may live.
