RV 3.53.23

न सायकस्य चिकिते जनासो लोधं नयन्ति पशु मन्यमानाः । नावाजिनं वाजिना हासयन्ति न गर्दभम् पुरो अश्वान् नयन्ति ॥

na sāyakasya cikite janāso lodhaṃ nayanti paśu manyamānāḥ | nāvājinaṃ vājinā hāsayanti na gardabham puro aśvān nayanti ||

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

Men notice not the arrow, O ye people; they bring the red beast deeming it a bullock. A sluggish steed men run not with the courser, nor ever lead an ass before a charger.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
