RV 10.27.12

कियती योषा मर्यतो वधूयोः परिप्रीता पन्यसा वार्येण । भद्रा वधूर् भवति यत् सुपेशाः स्वयं सा मित्रं वनुते जने चित् ॥

kiyatī yoṣā maryato vadhūyoḥ pariprītā panyasā vāryeṇa | bhadrā vadhūr bhavati yat supeśāḥ svayaṃ sā mitraṃ vanute jane cit ||

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

How many a maid is pleasing to the suitor who fain would marry for her splendid riches? If the girl be both good and fair of feature, she finds, herself, a friend among the people.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
