Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 10.85.3

RV 10.85.3

सोमम् मन्यते पपिवान् यत् सम्पिंषन्त्य् ओषधिम् । सोमं यम् ब्रह्माणो विदुर् न तस्याश्नाति कश् चन ॥

somam manyate papivān yat sampiṃṣanty oṣadhim | somaṃ yam brahmāṇo vidur na tasyāśnāti kaś cana ||

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

One thinks, when they have brayed the plant, that he hath drunk the Soma's juice; Of him whom Brahmans truly know as Soma no one ever tastes.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
