Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 5.2.1

RV 5.2.1

कुमारम् माता युवतिः समुब्धं गुहा बिभर्ति न ददाति पित्रे । अनीकम् अस्य न मिनज् जनासः पुरः पश्यन्ति निहितम् अरतौ ॥

kumāram mātā yuvatiḥ samubdhaṃ guhā bibharti na dadāti pitre | anīkam asya na minaj janāsaḥ puraḥ paśyanti nihitam aratau ||

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

The youthful Mother keeps the Boy in secret pressed to her close, nor yields him to the Father. But, when he lies upon the arm, the people see his unfading countenance before them.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
