Sukta 7.86

Rishi: Vasiṣṭha
Devata: Varuṇa
Chandas: Triṣṭubh

न स स्वो दक्षो वरुण ध्रुतिः सा सुरा मन्युर्विभीदको अचित्तिः । अस्ति ज्यायान्कनीयस उपारे स्वप्नश्चनेदनृतस्य प्रयोता ॥

Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 7.86.6

ná sá svó dákṣo váruṇa dhrutíḥ sā́ surā́ mányur vibhī́dako ácittiḥ | ásti jyā́yān kánīyasa upāré svápnaś canéd anṛ́tasya prayotā́ ||

Hỡi Varuṇa, đó chẳng phải là sự phân định đúng đắn của riêng con (dakṣa), cũng chẳng phải là sự giữ vững (dhr̥ti); mà là men say (surā), là cơn giận (manyu) khiến run sợ, là sự không biết (acitti). Người lớn cũng có thể trượt vào trạng thái của kẻ nhỏ; ngay cả giấc ngủ cũng có thể thành kẻ xúi giục điều không thật (anṛta)—trong chúng ta có những lực bẻ cong ý chí khỏi điều đúng.
