Rig Veda
na tā minanti māyino na dhīrā vratā devānām prathamā dhruvāṇi na rodasī adruhā vedyābhir na parvatā niname tasthivāṃsaḥ
Not men of magic skill, not men of wisdom impair the Gods' first steadfast ordinances. Ne'er may the earth and heaven which know not malice, nor the fixed hills, be bowed by sage devices.
