RV 3.38.1

अभि तष्टेव दीधया मनीषाम् अत्यो न वाजी सुधुरो जिहानः । अभि प्रियाणि मर्मृशत् पराणि कवींर् इच्छामि संदृशे सुमेधाः ॥

abhi taṣṭeva dīdhayā manīṣām atyo na vājī sudhuro jihānaḥ | abhi priyāṇi marmṛśat parāṇi kavīṃr icchāmi saṃdṛśe sumedhāḥ ||

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

Hasting like some strong courser good at drawing, a thought have I imagined like a workman. Pondering what is dearest and most noble, I long to see the sages full of wisdom.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
