Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 8.31.18

RV 8.31.18

असद् अत्र सुवीर्यम् उत त्यद् आश्वश्व्यम् । देवानां य इन् मनो यजमान इयक्षत्य् अभीद् अयज्वनो भुवत् ॥

asad atra suvīryam uta tyad āśvaśvyam | 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.

Such strength of heroes shall be his, such mastery of fleet-foot steeds. The man who, sacrificing, strives to win the heart of Deities will conquer those who worship not.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
