Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 5.15.4

RV 5.15.4

मातेव यद् भरसे पप्रथानो जनं-जनं धायसे चक्षसे च । वयो-वयो जरसे यद् दधानः परि त्मना विषुरूपो जिगासि ॥

māteva yad bharase paprathāno janaṃ-janaṃ dhāyase cakṣase ca | vayo-vayo jarase yad dadhānaḥ pari tmanā viṣurūpo jigāsi ||

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

When, like a mother, spreading forth to nourish, to cherish and regard each man that liveth,- Consuming all the strength that thou hast gotten, thou wanderest round, thyself, in varied fashion.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
