Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 1.164.37

RV 1.164.37

न वि जानामि यद् इवेदम् अस्मि निण्यः संनद्धो मनसा चरामि । यदा मागन् प्रथमजा ऋतस्याद् इद् वाचो अश्नुवे भागम् अस्याः ॥

na vi jānāmi yad ivedam asmi niṇyaḥ saṃnaddho manasā carāmi | yadā māgan prathamajā ṛtasyād id vāco aśnuve bhāgam asyāḥ ||

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

What thing I truly am I know not clearly: mysterious, fettered in my mind I wander. When the first-born of holy Law approached me, then of this speech I first obtain a portion.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
