Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 10.10.13

RV 10.10.13

बतो बतासि यम नैव ते मनो हृदयं चाविदाम । अन्या किल त्वां कक्ष्येव युक्तम् परि ष्वजाते लिबुजेव वृक्षम् ॥

bato batāsi yama naiva te mano hṛdayaṃ cāvidāma | anyā kila tvāṃ kakṣyeva yuktam pari ṣvajāte libujeva vṛkṣam ||

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

Alas! thou art indeed a weakling, Yama we find in thee no trace of heart or spirit. As round the tree the woodbine clings, another will cling about thee girt as with a girdle.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
