RV 1.161.1
किम् उ श्रेष्ठः किं यविष्ठो न आजगन् किम् ईयते दूत्यं कद् यद् ऊचिम । न निन्दिम चमसं यो महाकुलो ऽग्ने भ्रातर् द्रुण इद् भूतिम् ऊदिम ॥
kim u śreṣṭhaḥ kiṃ yaviṣṭho na ājagan kim īyate dūtyaṃ kad yad ūcima | na nindima camasaṃ yo mahākulo 'gne bhrātar druṇa id bhūtim ūdima ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Why hath the Best, why hath the Youngest come to us? Upon what embassy comes he? What have we said? We have not blamed the chalice of illustrious birth. We, Brother Agni, praised the goodness of the wood.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
