Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 1.170.1

RV 1.170.1

न नूनम् अस्ति नो श्वः कस् तद् वेद यद् अद्भुतम् । अन्यस्य चित्तम् अभि संचरेण्यम् उताधीतं वि नश्यति ॥

na nūnam asti no śvaḥ kas tad veda yad adbhutam | anyasya cittam abhi saṃcareṇyam utādhītaṃ vi naśyati ||

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

Naught is to-day, to-morrow naught. Who comprehends the mystery? We must address ourselves unto another's thought, and lost is then the hope we formed.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
