Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 8.4.13

AVŚ 8.4.13

न वा उ सोमो वृजिनं हिनोति न क्षत्रियम् मिथुया धारयन्तम् । हन्ति रक्षो हन्त्य् आसद् वदन्तम् उभाव् इन्द्रस्य प्रसितौ शयाते ॥१३॥

na vā u somo vṛjinaṃ hinoti na kṣatriyam mithuyā dhārayantam | hanti rakṣo hanty āsad vadantam ubhāv indrasya prasitau śayāte ||13||

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

Soma by no means furthers the wicked [man], nor the kshatríya who maintains [anything] falsely; he smites the demon; he smites the speaker of untruth; both lie within reach of Indra.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
