Rig Veda 7.86.5: Mandala 7, Sukta 86, Mantra 5
Sukta 7.86
अव द्रुग्धानि पित्र्या सृजा नोऽव या वयं चकृमा तनूभिः । अव राजन्पशुतृपं न तायुं सृजा वत्सं न दाम्नो वसिष्ठम् ॥
áva drugdhā́ni pitryā́ sṛjā no 'vá yā́ vayáṃ cakṛmā́ tanū́bhiḥ | áva rā́jan paśu-tṛ́paṃ ná tāyúṃ sṛjá vatsáṃ ná dā́mno vásiṣṭham ||
Release from us the ancestral distortions and the wrongs we ourselves have fashioned in our embodied nature. O King, let go the seeker who has gone astray, like one who has fed on another’s herd; release Vasiṣṭha from the binding cord, as a calf is freed from its tether.
