Rig Veda 7.86.6

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

न स सवो दक्षो वरुण धरुतिः सा सुरा मन्युर्विभीदकोचित्तिः | अस्ति जयायान कनीयस उपारे सवप्नश्चनेदन्र्तस्य परयोता

IAST Romanisation

na sa svo dakṣo varuṇa dhrutiḥ sā surā manyurvibhīdakoacittiḥ | asti jyāyān kanīyasa upāre svapnaścanedanṛtasya prayotā

English Translation (Griffith)

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