7.86.6

na sa svo dakṣo̍ varuṇa̱ dhruti̱ḥ sā surā̍ ma̱nyur vi̱bhīda̍ko̱ aci̍ttiḥ |
asti̱ jyāyā̱n kanī̍yasa upā̱re svapna̍ś ca̱ned anṛ̍tasya prayo̱tā ||

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.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda
