Sukta 3

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

यद॒क्षेषु॒ वदा॒ यत् समि॑त्यां॒ यद् वा॒ वदा॒ अनृ॑तं वित्तका॒म्या। स॒मा॒नं तन्तु॑म॒भि सं॒वसा॑नौ॒ तस्मि॒न्त्सर्वं॒ शम॑लं सादयाथः

IAST Transliteration

yád akṣéṣu váda yát samítyāṃ yád vā váda anṛ́taṃ vittakā́myāḥ | samānáṃ tántum abhí saṃvásānau tásmin tát sárvaṃ śámalaṃ sādayāthaḥ ||

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

What thou hast spoken at the dice, what in the assembly, or what untruth thou hast uttered from desire of gain—clothed both together upon one common thread, therein do ye cause all that stain to settle down.

Translation

Apa yang engkau ucapkan di permainan dadu, apa yang (kau ucapkan) di perhimpunan, atau dusta yang kau ucapkan kerana menginginkan keuntungan—kalian berdua, berbalut pada satu benang yang sama; di dalamnya, buatlah segala noda itu mengendap dan reda.
