Rig Veda 10.61.8: Mandala 10, Sukta 61, Mantra 8
Sukta 10.61
स ईं वृषा न फेनमस्यदाजौ स्मदा परैदप दभ्रचेताः । सरत्पदा न दक्षिणा परावृङ्न ता नु मे पृशन्यो जगृभ्रे ॥
sá īṃ vṛ́ṣā ná phénam asyad ājā́u smád ā́ paráit ápa dábhracetāḥ | sárat padā́ ná dákṣiṇā parā́vṛṅ ná tā́ nú me pṛśanyó jagṛbhre ||
He, like a bull, flung forth the foam in the battle; then the little-mindedness fell away and he moved beyond. The right-giving power slipped from the step and turned aside—yet those forces, now, do not seize me; I refuse the grasp of the dark-spotted disturbers.
