Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 7.86.6

RV 7.86.6

न स स्वो दक्षो वरुण ध्रुतिः सा सुरा मन्युर् विभीदको अचित्तिः । अस्ति ज्यायान् कनीयस उपारे स्वप्नश् चनेद् अनृतस्य प्रयोता ॥

na sa svo dakṣo varuṇa dhrutiḥ sā surā manyur vibhīdako acittiḥ | asti jyāyān kanīyasa upāre svapnaś caned anṛtasya prayotā ||

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

Not our own will betrayed us, but seduction, thoughtlessness, Varuna wine, dice, or anger. The old is near to lead astray the younger: even sleep removeth not all evil-doing.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
