RV 10 109.3

हस्तेनैव ग्राह्य आधिर् अस्या ब्रह्मजायेयम् इति चेद् अवोचन् । न दूताय प्रह्ये तस्थ एषा तथा राष्ट्रꣳ गुपितꣳ क्षत्रियस्य

hastenaiva grāhya ādhir asyā brahmajāyeyam iti ced avocan | na dūtāya prahye tastha eṣā tathā rāṣṭraṁ gupitaṁ kṣatriyasya

By the hand itself must her pledge be seized, if they have said, 'This is a brahman's wife.' She did not stand (ready) to be sent to a messenger: thus is the realm of the kṣatriya guarded.

The gods of old spoke about her, and the seven ṛṣis who sat down for ascetic heat: terrible is the wife of a brāhmaṇa when brought (to another); she sets disorder in the highest heaven.

ब्रह्मचारी चरति वेविषद् विषः स देवानाम् भवत्य् एकम् अङ्गम् । तेन जायाम् अन्व् अविन्दद् बृहस्पतिः सोमेन नीताꣳ जुह्व१ꣳ न देवाः

brahmacārī carati veviṣad viṣaḥ sa devānām bhavaty ekam aṅgam | tena jāyām anv avindad bṛhaspatiḥ somena nītāṁ juhva1ṁ na devāḥ

The brahmacārin goes about, busily serving; he becomes one limb of the gods. Through him Bṛhaspati found again the wife led away by Soma, as the gods (found) the offering-ladle.
