Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 8.4.16

RV 8.4.16

सं नः शिशीहि भुरिजोर् इव क्षुरं रास्व रायो विमोचन । त्वे तन् नः सुवेदम् उस्रियं वसु यं त्वं हिनोषि मर्त्यम् ॥

saṃ naḥ śiśīhi bhurijor iva kṣuraṃ rāsva rāyo vimocana | tve tan naḥ suvedam usriyaṃ vasu yaṃ tvaṃ hinoṣi martyam ||

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

Sharpen us like a razor in the barber's hands: send riches thou who settest free. Easy to find with thee are treasures of the Dawn for mortal man whom thou dost speed.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
