Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·6·6.2·6.2.8
क्रत्वा हि द्रोणे अज्यसे ऽग्ने वाजी न कृत्व्यः । परिज्मेव स्वधा गयो ऽत्यो न ह्वार्यः शिशुः ॥
kratvā hi droṇe ajyase 'gne vājī na kṛtvyaḥ | parijmeva svadhā gayo 'tyo na hvāryaḥ śiśuḥ ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Thou, Agni, like an able steed, art urged by wisdom in the wood. Thou art like wind; food, home art thou, like a young horse that runs astray.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
