RV 4.14.5 — Ṛgveda Saṃhitā

RV 4.14.5

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 unsupported, 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)
