Rig Veda 2.27.17: Mandala 2, Sukta 27, Mantra 17
Sukta 2.27
माहं मघोनो वरुण प्रियस्य भूरिदाव्न आ विदं शूनमापेः । मा रायो राजन्त्सुयमादव स्थां बृहद्वदेम विदथे सुवीराः ॥
mā́haṃ maghóno varuṇa priyásya bhūrídā́vna ā́ vidam śū́nam āpéḥ | mā́ rāyó rājan suyámād áva sthāṃ bṛhád vadema vidáthe suvī́rāḥ ||
O Varuṇa, may I not fall away from the beloved grace of the bountiful Giver; may I win the wide happiness that comes from the Waters (the flowing clarity). O King, let not the plenitude of spiritual wealth slip down from the good guidance (of your law). May we speak the Vast (Bṛhat) in the assembly, becoming rich in heroic powers of the soul.
