Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 4.5.12

RV 4.5.12

किं नो अस्य द्रविणं कद् ध रत्नं वि नो वोचो जातवेदश् चिकित्वान् । गुहाध्वनः परमं यन् नो अस्य रेकु पदं न निदाना अगन्म ॥

kiṃ no asya draviṇaṃ kad dha ratnaṃ vi no voco jātavedaś cikitvān | guhādhvanaḥ paramaṃ yan no asya reku padaṃ na nidānā aganma ||

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

What is our wealth therefrom, and what our treasure? Tell us O Jatavedas, for thou knowest, What is our best course in this secret passage: we, unreproached, have reached a t)lace far distant.
