RV 8.31.16 — Ṛgveda Saṃhitā

RV 8.31.16

न यजमान रिष्यसि न सुन्वान न देवयो । देवानां य इन् मनो यजमान इयक्षत्य् अभीद् अयज्वनो भुवत् ॥

na yajamāna riṣyasi na sunvāna na devayo | devānāṃ ya in mano yajamāna iyakṣaty abhīd ayajvano bhuvat ||

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

Ne'er are ye injured, worshipper, presser of juice, or pious man. The man who, sacrificing, strives to win the heart of Deities will conquer those who worship not.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
