Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 10.109.3

RV 10.109.3

हस्तेनैव ग्राह्य आधिर् अस्या ब्रह्मजायेयम् इति चेद् अवोचन् । न दूताय प्रह्ये तस्थ एषा तथा राष्ट्रं गुपितं क्षत्रियस्य ॥

hastenaiva grāhya ādhir asyā brahmajāyeyam iti ced avocan | na dūtāya prahye tastha eṣā tathā rāṣṭraṃ gupitaṃ kṣatriyasya ||

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

The man, her pledge, must by her hand be taken when they have cried, She is a Brahman's consort. She stayed not for a herald to conduct her: thus is the kingdom of a ruler guarded.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
