RV 10.71.5 — Ṛgveda Saṃhitā

RV 10.71.5

उत त्वं सख्ये स्थिरपीतम् आहुर् नैनं हिन्वन्त्य् अपि वाजिनेषु । अधेन्वा चरति माययैष वाचं शुश्रुवां अफलाम् अपुष्पाम् ॥

uta tvaṃ sakhye sthirapītam āhur nainaṃ hinvanty api vājineṣu | adhenvā carati māyayaiṣa vācaṃ śuśruvāṃ aphalām apuṣpām ||

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

One man they call a laggard, dull in friendship: they never urge him on to deeds of valour. He wanders on in profitless illusion: the Voice he heard yields neither fruit, nor blossom.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
