Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 10.71.7

RV 10.71.7

अक्षण्वन्तः कर्णवन्तः सखायो मनोजवेष्व् असमा बभूवुः । आदघ्नास उपकक्षास उ त्वे ह्रदा इव स्नात्वा उ त्वे ददृश्रे ॥

akṣaṇvantaḥ karṇavantaḥ sakhāyo manojaveṣv asamā babhūvuḥ | ādaghnāsa upakakṣāsa u tve hradā iva snātvā u tve dadṛśre ||

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

Unequal in the quickness of their spirit are friends endowed alike with eyes and hearing. Some look like tanks that reach the mouth or shoulder, others like pools of water fit to bathe in.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
