Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 4.24.9

RV 4.24.9

भूयसा वस्नम् अचरत् कनीयो ऽविक्रीतो अकानिषम् पुनर् यन् । स भूयसा कनीयो नारिरेचीद् दीना दक्षा वि दुहन्ति प्र वाणम् ॥

bhūyasā vasnam acarat kanīyo 'vikrīto akāniṣam punar yan | sa bhūyasā kanīyo nārirecīd dīnā dakṣā vi duhanti pra vāṇam ||

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

He bid a small price for a thing of value: I was content, returning, still unpurchased. He heightened not his insufficient offer. Simple and clever, both milk out the udder.
