RV 1.161.10

श्रोणाम् एक उदकं गाम् अवाजति मांसम् एकः पिंशति सूनयाभृतम् । आ निम्रुचः शकृद् एको अपाभरत् किं स्वित् पुत्रेभ्यः पितरा उपावतुः ॥

śroṇām eka udakaṃ gām avājati māṃsam ekaḥ piṃśati sūnayābhṛtam | ā nimrucaḥ śakṛd eko apābharat kiṃ svit putrebhyaḥ pitarā upāvatuḥ ||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

One downward to the water drives the crippled cow, another trims the flesh brought on the carving-board. One carries off the refuse at the set of sun. How did the Parents aid their children in their task!

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
