Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 10.40.10

RV 10.40.10

जीवं रुदन्ति वि मयन्ते अध्वरे दीर्घाम् अनु प्रसितिं दीधियुर् नरः । वामम् पितृभ्यो य इदं समेरिरे मयः पतिभ्यो जनयः परिष्वजे ॥

jīvaṃ rudanti vi mayante adhvare dīrghām anu prasitiṃ dīdhiyur naraḥ | vāmam pitṛbhyo ya idaṃ samerire mayaḥ patibhyo janayaḥ pariṣvaje ||

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

They mourn the living, cry aloud, at sacrifice: the men have set their thoughts upon a distant cast. A lovely thing for fathers who have gathered here,-a joy to husbands,-are the wives their arms shall clasp

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
