Sanskrit Original
न वा उ॒ सोमो॑ वृजि॒नं हि॑नोति॒ न क्ष॒त्रियं॑ मिथु॒या धा॒रय॑न्तम् । हन्ति॒ रक्षो॒ हन्त्यास॒द्वद॑न्तमु॒भाविन्द्र॑स्य॒ प्रसि॑तौ शयाते
na vā u somo vṛjinaṃ hinoti na kṣatriyaṃ mithuyā dhārayantam hanti rakṣo hantyāsadvadantamubhāvindrasya prasitau śayāte
Neither Soma injures the warriors nor the Kshatriya who uphold falsehood; the demon strikes like one slain, lying down during Indra’s outpouring.
Soma instrumental gates not the wicked; he instrumental gates not the strong man dealing in falsehood; he destroys therākṣasa, he destroys the speaker of untruth; and both remain in the bondage of Indra.
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.
