Atharva Veda 5.11.4: Kanda 5, Anuvaka 2, Sukta 11, Mantra 4
Sukta 11
न त्वद॒न्यः क॒वित॑रो॒ न मे॒धया॒ धीर॑तरो वरुण स्वधावन्। त्वं ता विश्वा॒ भुव॑नानि वेत्थ॒ स चि॒न्नु त्वज्जनो॑ मा॒यी बि॑भाय
ná tvád anyáḥ kavítaro ná medháyā dhī́rataro varuṇa svadhāvan | tváṃ tā́ víśvā bhúvanāni véttha sá cid nú tváj-jano māyī́ bibhāya ||
None other than thee is more a seer, nor by intelligence more steadfast, O Varuṇa, rich in native might. Thou knowest all those worlds; and even the man of thine, a worker of illusion, is afraid.
นอกจากท่านแล้ว ไม่มีผู้ใดเป็นฤๅษีผู้หยั่งรู้ (kavi) ยิ่งกว่า และไม่มีผู้ใดมั่นคงด้วยปัญญายิ่งกว่า โอ วรุณะ (Varuṇa) ผู้มีพลังโดยกำเนิด. ท่านรู้ทั่วทุกโลกเหล่านี้; แม้คนของท่านเอง ผู้กระทำมายา (māyī) ก็ยังหวาดกลัว.
