Rig Veda 1.41.9: Mandala 1, Sukta 41, Mantra 9

Sukta 1.41

Devata: Ādityas (contextual continuity; ethical governance under ṛta)

चतुरश्चिद्ददमानाद्बिभीयादा निधातोः । न दुरुक्ताय स्पृहयेत् ॥

catúraś cid dádāmānād bibhīyā́d ā́ nidhā́toḥ | ná duruktā́ya spṛhayet ||

വളരെ നൽകുന്നവനിൽ നിന്നുപോലും രഹസ്യമായി ഹാനി സ്ഥാപിക്കുന്നവനെ ഭയപ്പെടണം; ദുർവചനം—അശുഭവാക്ക്—ആഗ്രഹിക്കരുത്.
