यन् नासत्या भुरण्यथो यद् वा देव भिषज्यथः । अयं वां वत्सो मतिभिर् न विन्धते हविष्मन्तं हि गछथः ॥१॥
yan nāsatyā bhuraṇyatho yad vā deva bhiṣajyathaḥ | ayaṃ vāṃ vatso matibhir na vindhate haviṣmantaṃ hi gachathaḥ ||1||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
What force, Nasatyas, ye exert, whatever, Gods, ye tend and heal, This your own Vatsa gains not by his hymns alone: ye visit him who offers gifts.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)This is the translator's rendering of the same verse where it occurs at RV 8.9.6; the wording of this text may differ in places.
