Sukta 6.67

Rishi: Bharadvāja Bārhaspatya
Devata: Mitra-Varuṇa

ता जिह्वया सदमेदं सुमेधा आ यद्वां सत्यो अरतिॠते भूत् । तद्वां महित्वं घृतान्नावस्तु युवं दाशुषे वि चयिष्टमंहः ॥

tā́ jihváyā sádam ídaṃ su-medhā́ ā́ yád vāṃ satyó aratíḥ ṛté bhūt | tád vāṃ mahitváṃ ghṛtā́nnavāstu yuváṃ dāśúṣe ví cayiṣṭam áṃhaḥ ||

Com a língua da fala reta, ó sábios de mente, a vós trazemos isto sem cessar, quando a falsa desordem se ergueu fora do ṛta. Seja a vossa grandeza para nós alimento de ghee; vós dois, para o doador, separai e afastai a aflição.
