Rig Veda 10.12.5: Mandala 10, Sukta 12, Mantra 5

Sukta 10.12

Devata: Implicitly the King (Varuṇa-like sovereign of ṛta) and explicitly Mitra; also the collective Devāḥ as invoked powers.
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (probable; requires verification).

किं स्विन्नो राजा जगृहे कदस्याति व्रतं चकृमा को वि वेद । मित्रश्चिद्धि ष्मा जुहुराणो देवाञ्छ्लोको न यातामपि वाजो अस्ति ॥

kíṃ svin no rājā́ jagṛhe kád asyā́ti vratáṃ cakṛmā kó ví veda | mitráś cid dhí ṣmā juhurāṇó devā́ñ chlóko ná yātām ápi vājó ásti ||

Apakah sesungguhnya Sang Raja telah mengambil sesuatu daripada kami? Bahagian manakah daripada vratá (janji-tata/hukum sucinya) yang telah kami langgar? Siapakah yang benar-benar mengetahui? Bahkan Mitra pun—walau mempersembah dan menyeru para dewa—tidak menemukan laluan kedatangan mereka yang bersuara jernih; namun vāja (kelimpahan daya/tenaga) tetap ada.
