Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 4.16.2

AVŚ 4.16.2

यस् तिष्ठति चरति यश् च वञ्चति यो निलायं चरति यः प्रतङ्कम् । द्वौ संनिषद्य यन् मन्त्रयेते राजा तद् वेद वरुणस् तृतीयः ॥२॥

yas tiṣṭhati carati yaś ca vañcati yo nilāyaṃ carati yaḥ prataṅkam | dvau saṃniṣadya yan mantrayete rājā tad veda varuṇas tṛtīyaḥ ||2||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

Whoso stands, goes about, and whoso goes crookedly (vañc), whoso goes about hiddenly, who defiantly (? pratán̄kam)—what two, sitting down together, talk, king Varuṇa, as third, knows that.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
