Rig Veda 3.56.1: Mandala 3, Sukta 56, Mantra 1

Sukta 3.56

Rishi: Viśvāmitra Gāthina (family attribution for Maṇḍala 3)
Devata: Dharmic/Ṛta-order of the gods (cosmic law) rather than a single personalized deity
Chandas: Triṣṭubh

न ता मिनन्ति मायिनो न धीरा व्रता देवानां प्रथमा ध्रुवाणि । न रोदसी अद्रुहा वेद्याभिर्न पर्वता निनमे तस्थिवांसः ॥

ná tā́ minanti māyíno ná dhīrā́ vratā́ devā́nām prathamā́ dhruvā́ṇi | ná rodasī́ adrúhā vedyā́bhir ná párvatā ni-náme tasthi-vā́ṃsaḥ ||

मायिनः—शक्तीचे स्वामी—आणि धीर ज्ञानी, देवांचे प्रथम व दृढ व्रत भंग करत नाहीत. सत्याशी अद्रुह—द्रोह नसलेली—ती दोन लोकेही त्यांच्या कर्मांनी वाकत नाहीत; आणि स्थिर उभे असलेले पर्वतही नमविले जात नाहीत.
