Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 8.20.12

RV 8.20.12

त उग्रासो वृषण उग्रबाहवो नकिष् टनूषु येतिरे । स्थिरा धन्वान्य् आयुधा रथेषु वो ऽनीकेष्व् अधि श्रियः ॥

ta ugrāso vṛṣaṇa ugrabāhavo nakiṣ ṭanūṣu yetire | sthirā dhanvāny āyudhā ratheṣu vo 'nīkeṣv adhi śriyaḥ ||

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

They toil not to defend their bodies from attack, strong Heroes with their mighty arms. Strong are your bows and strong the weapons in your cars, and glory sits on every face.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
