Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 10.78.3

RV 10.78.3

वातासो न ये धुनयो जिगत्नवो ऽग्नीनां न जिह्वा विरोकिणः । वर्मण्वन्तो न योधाः शिमीवन्तः पितॄणां न शंसाः सुरातयः ॥

vātāso na ye dhunayo jigatnavo 'gnīnāṃ na jihvā virokiṇaḥ | varmaṇvanto na yodhāḥ śimīvantaḥ pitṝṇāṃ na śaṃsāḥ surātayaḥ ||

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

Shakers of all, like gales of wind they travel, like tongues of burning fires in their effulgence. Mighty are they as warriors clad in armour, and, like the Fathers' prayers, Most Bounteous Givers.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
