Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 10.109.3

hasténaíva grāhyà ādhír asyā brahmajāyéyam íti céd avocan | na dūtā́ya prahyè tastha eṣā́ tathā rāṣṭráṁ gupitáṁ kṣatríyasya ||

“Hanya dengan tanganlah tuntutan atasnya boleh diambil,” kata mereka; “inilah isteri Brahman.” Ia tidak berdiri untuk dirampas oleh genggaman seorang utusan. Demikianlah kerajaan sang Kṣatriya terpelihara—dijaga dalam hukum Satya dan ṛta.
