Rig Veda 10.28.11: Mandala 10, Sukta 28, Mantra 11
Sukta 10.28
तेभ्यो गोधा अयथं कर्षदेतद्ये ब्रह्मणः प्रतिपीयन्त्यन्नैः । सिम उक्ष्णोऽवसृष्टाँ अदन्ति स्वयं बलानि तन्वः शृणानाः ॥
tébhyo godhā́ ayátham karṣad etád ye bráhmaṇaḥ pratipīyánty annáiḥ | simá ukṣṇó ’vasṛṣṭā́m̐ adanti svayáṃ bálāni tanváḥ śṛṇānā́ḥ ||
Bagi orang-orang seperti ini, ‘godhā’ menyeret gerak itu ke arah yang menyimpang—mereka yang ‘meminum kembali’ Brahman yang suci dengan persembahan makanan. Seakan-akan mereka memakan minuman yang dilepaskan dari lembu jantan; mereka sendiri mematahkan kekuatan tubuh mereka, menghancurkan daya makhluk yang berjasad.
