Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 5.85.8

RV 5.85.8

कितवासो यद् रिरिपुर् न दीवि यद् वा घा सत्यम् उत यन् न विद्म । सर्वा ता वि ष्य शिथिरेव देवाधा ते स्याम वरुण प्रियासः ॥

kitavāso yad riripur na dīvi yad vā ghā satyam uta yan na vidma | sarvā tā vi ṣya śithireva devādhā te syāma varuṇa priyāsaḥ ||

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

If we, as gamesters cheat at play, have cheated, done wrong unwittingly or sinned of purpose, Cast all these sins away like loosened fetters, and, Varuna let us be thine own beloved.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
