Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 10.117.9

RV 10.117.9

समौ चिद् धस्तौ न समं विविष्टः सम्मातरा चिन् न समं दुहाते । यमयोश् चिन् न समा वीर्याणि ज्ञाती चित् सन्तौ न समम् पृणीतः ॥

samau cid dhastau na samaṃ viviṣṭaḥ sammātarā cin na samaṃ duhāte | yamayoś cin na samā vīryāṇi jñātī cit santau na samam pṛṇītaḥ ||

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

The hands are both alike: their labour differs. The yield of sister milch-kine is unequal. Twins even differ in their strength and vigour: two, even kinsmen, differ in their bounty.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
