RV 6.12.5
अध स्मास्य पनयन्ति भासो वृथा यत् तक्षद् अनुयाति पृथ्वीम् । सद्यो यः स्यन्द्रो विषितो धवीयान् ऋणो न तायुर् अति धन्वा राट् ॥
adha smāsya panayanti bhāso vṛthā yat takṣad anuyāti pṛthvīm | sadyo yaḥ syandro viṣito dhavīyān ṛṇo na tāyur ati dhanvā rāṭ ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Men wonder at his shining glows when, paring the woods with case, o'er the broad earth he goeth, And, like a rushing flood, loosed quickly, burneth, swift as a guilty thief, o'er desert places.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
