Rigveda Samhita — Mandala 6 — Chapter 52

RV 6 52.1

न तद् दिवा न पृथिव्यानु मन्ये न यज्ञेन नोत शमीभिर् आभिः । उब्जन्तु तꣳ सुभ्व१ः पर्वतासो नि हीयताम् अतियाजस्य यष्टा

na tad divā na pṛthivyānu manye na yajñena nota śamībhir ābhiḥ | ubjantu taṁ subhva1ḥ parvatāso ni hīyatām atiyājasya yaṣṭā

That I do not approve of, neither by heaven nor by earth, nor by the sacrifice nor by these ritual labours. Let the massive mountains crush him down; let the sacrificer who sacrifices to excess be laid low.

RV 6 52.3

किम् अङ्ग त्वा ब्रह्मणः सोम गोपाꣳ किम् अङ्ग त्वाहुर् अभिशस्तिपाꣳ नः । किम् अङ्ग नः पश्यसि निद्यमानान् ब्रह्मद्विषे तपुषिꣳ हेतिम् अस्य

kim aṅga tvā brahmaṇaḥ soma gopāṁ kim aṅga tvāhur abhiśastipāṁ naḥ | kim aṅga naḥ paśyasi nidyamānān brahmadviṣe tapuṣiṁ hetim asya

Why then, Soma, do they call you the guardian of the formula, why then do they call you our protector from calumny? Why then do you (merely) look on us being reviled? Cast the scorching weapon at the hater of the formula.
