Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 8.4.12

AVŚ 8.4.12

सुविज्ञानं चिकितुषे जनाय सच् चासच् च वचसी पस्पृधाते । तस्योर् यत् सत्यं यतरद् ऋजीयस् तद् इत् सोमो ऽवति हन्त्य् असत् ॥१२॥

suvijñānaṃ cikituṣe janāya sac cāsac ca vacasī paspṛdhāte | tasyor yat satyaṃ yatarad ṛjīyas tad it somo 'vati hanty asat ||12||

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

It is easy of understanding for a knowing man (jána) [that] true and untrue words (vácas) are at variance; of them what is true, whichever is more right, that Soma verily favors; he smites the untrue.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
