Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 7.32.21

RV 7.32.21

न दुष्टुती मर्त्यो विन्दते वसु न स्रेधन्तं रयिर् नशत् । सुशक्तिर् इन् मघवन् तुभ्यम् मावते देष्णं यत् पार्ये दिवि ॥

na duṣṭutī martyo vindate vasu na sredhantaṃ rayir naśat | suśaktir in maghavan tubhyam māvate deṣṇaṃ yat pārye divi ||

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

A moral wins no riches by unworthy praise: wealth comes not to the niggard churl. Light is the task to give, O Maghavan, to one like me on the decisive day.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
