नहि स्थूर्य् ऋतुथा यातम् अस्ति नोत श्रवो विविदे संगमेषु । गव्यन्त इन्द्रं सख्याय विप्रा अश्वायन्तो वृषणं वाजयन्तः ॥३॥
nahi sthūry ṛtuthā yātam asti nota śravo vivide saṃgameṣu | gavyanta indraṃ sakhyāya viprā aśvāyanto vṛṣaṇaṃ vājayantaḥ ||3||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Men come not with one horse at sacred seasons; thus they obtain no honour in assemblies. Sages desiring herds of kine and horses strengthen the mighty Indra for his friendship.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)This is the translator's rendering of the same verse where it occurs at RV 10.131.3; the wording of this text may differ in places.
