Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 6.9.2

RV 6.9.2

नाहं तन्तुं न वि जानाम्य् ओतुं न यं वयन्ति समरे ऽतमानाः । कस्य स्वित् पुत्र इह वक्त्वानि परो वदात्य् अवरेण पित्रा ॥

nāhaṃ tantuṃ na vi jānāmy otuṃ na yaṃ vayanti samare 'tamānāḥ | kasya svit putra iha vaktvāni paro vadāty avareṇa pitrā ||

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

I know not either warp or woof, I know not the web they weave when moving to the contest. Whose son shall here speak words that must be spoken without assistance from the Father near him?

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
