RV 4.13.5 — Ṛgveda Saṃhitā

RV 4.13.5

अनायतो अनिबद्धः कथायं न्यङ्ङ् उत्तानो ऽव पद्यते न । कया याति स्वधया को ददर्श दिव स्कम्भः समृतः पाति नाकम् ॥

anāyato anibaddhaḥ kathāyaṃ nyaṅṅ uttāno 'va padyate na | kayā yāti svadhayā ko dadarśa diva skambhaḥ samṛtaḥ pāti nākam ||

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

How is it that, unbound and not supported, he falleth not although directed downward? By what self power moves he? Who hath seen it? He guards the vault of heaven, a close-set pillar.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
