RV 10.71.9

इमे ये नार्वाङ् न परश् चरन्ति न ब्राह्मणासो न सुतेकरासः । त एते वाचम् अभिपद्य पापया सिरीस् तन्त्रं तन्वते अप्रजज्ञयः ॥

ime ye nārvāṅ na paraś caranti na brāhmaṇāso na sutekarāsaḥ | ta ete vācam abhipadya pāpayā sirīs tantraṃ tanvate aprajajñayaḥ ||

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

Those men who step not back and move not forward, nor Brahmans nor preparers of libations, Having attained to Vak in sinful fashion spin out their thread in ignorance like spinsters.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
