In village or forest, in all the places where man meets man, in market or forum, may we always say that which is pleasing to you!
Atharva Veda XII, 1, 56
Just as a horse scatters dust, so Earth, when she came into being, scattered the peoples–Earth, gracious leader and protectress of the world, who holds in firm grasp both trees and plants.
Atharva Veda XII, 1, 57
As a charioteer tethers his steed, so my songs shall bind your heart, O Varuna.
Rig Veda I, 25, 3
My desires fly away searching for happiness, just as birds fly to their nest.
Rig Veda I, 25, 4
Common to both is the might. Their love forsakes not the worshiper faithful to Law.
Rig Veda I, 25, 6
