RV 8.27.18
अज्रे चिद् अस्मै कृणुथा न्यञ्चनं दुर्गे चिद् आ सुसरणम् । एषा चिद् अस्माद् अशनिः परो नु सास्रेधन्ती वि नश्यतु ॥
ajre cid asmai kṛṇuthā nyañcanaṃ durge cid ā susaraṇam | eṣā cid asmād aśaniḥ paro nu sāsredhantī vi naśyatu ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
E'en on the plain for him ye make a sloping path, an easy way where road is none: And far away from him the ineffectual shaft must vanish, shot at him in vain.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
