RV 1.38.2

क्व नूनं कद् वो अर्थं गन्ता दिवो न पृथिव्याः । क्व वो गावो न रण्यन्ति ॥

kva nūnaṃ kad vo arthaṃ gantā divo na pṛthivyāḥ | kva vo gāvo na raṇyanti ||

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

Now whither? To what goal of yours go ye in heaven, and not on earth? Where do your cows disport themselves?
