RV 8.31.17 — Ṛgveda Saṃhitā

RV 8.31.17

नकिष् टं कर्मणा नशन् न प्र योषन् न योषति । देवानां य इन् मनो यजमान इयक्षत्य् अभीद् अयज्वनो भुवत् ॥

nakiṣ ṭaṃ karmaṇā naśan na pra yoṣan na yoṣati | 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.

None in his action equals him, none holds him far or keeps him off. The man who, sacrificing, strives to win the heart of Deities will conquer those who worship not.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
