ये युध्यन्ते प्रधनेषु शूरासो ये स्वर् तनूत्यजः । ये वा सहस्रदक्षिणास् तां चिद् एवापि गछतात् ॥१७॥
ye yudhyante pradhaneṣu śūrāso ye svar tanūtyajaḥ | ye vā sahasradakṣiṇās tāṃ cid evāpi gachatāt ||17||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
The heroes who contend in war and boldly cast their lives away, Or who give guerdon thousandfold, even to those let him depart.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)This is the translator's rendering of the same verse where it occurs at RV 10.154.3; the wording of this text may differ in places.
