Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 10.117.6

RV 10.117.6

मोघम् अन्नं विन्दते अप्रचेताः सत्यम् ब्रवीमि वध इत् स तस्य । नार्यमणम् पुष्यति नो सखायं केवलाघो भवति केवलादी ॥

mogham annaṃ vindate apracetāḥ satyam bravīmi vadha it sa tasya | nāryamaṇam puṣyati no sakhāyaṃ kevalāgho bhavati kevalādī ||

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

The foolish man wins food with fruitless labour: that food -I speak the truth- shall be his ruin. He feeds no trusty friend, no man to love him. All guilt is he who eats with no partaker.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
