Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 1.166.2

RV 1.166.2

नित्यं न सूनुम् मधु बिभ्रत उप क्रीळन्ति क्रीळा विदथेषु घृष्वयः । नक्षन्ति रुद्रा अवसा नमस्विनं न मर्धन्ति स्वतवसो हविष्कृतम् ॥

nityaṃ na sūnum madhu bibhrata upa krīḷanti krīḷā vidatheṣu ghṛṣvayaḥ | nakṣanti rudrā avasā namasvinaṃ na mardhanti svatavaso haviṣkṛtam ||

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

Bringing the pleasant meath as 'twere their own dear son, they sport in sportive wise gay at their gatherings. The Rudras come with succour to the worshipper; self-strong they fail not him who offers sacrifice.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
