RV 10.117.1 1 of 9In the Library →

न वा उ देवाः क्षुधम् इद् वधं ददुर् उताशितम् उप गच्छन्ति मृत्यवः । उतो रयिः पृणतो नोप दस्यत्य् उतापृणन् मर्डितारं न विन्दते ॥

na vā u devāḥ kṣudham id vadhaṃ dadur utāśitam upa gacchanti mṛtyavaḥ | uto rayiḥ pṛṇato nopa dasyaty utāpṛṇan marḍitāraṃ na vindate ||

The Gods have not ordained hunger to be our death: even to the well-fed man comes death in varied shape. The riches of the liberal never waste away, while he who will not give finds none to comfort him.
