न वा उ सोमो वृजिनं हिनोति न क्षत्रियम् मिथुया धारयन्तम् । हन्ति रक्षो हन्त्य् आसद् वदन्तम् उभाव् इन्द्रस्य प्रसितौ शयाते ॥
na vā u somo vṛjinaṃ hinoti na kṣatriyam mithuyā dhārayantam | hanti rakṣo hanty āsad vadantam ubhāv indrasya prasitau śayāte ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Never doth Soma aid and guide the wicked or him who falsely claims the Warrior's title. He slays the fiend and him who speaks untruly: both lie entangled in the noose of Indra.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
