Rig Veda 1.166.2
Sanskrit (Devanagari)
नित्यं न सूनुं मधु बिभ्रत उप करीळन्ति करीळा विदथेषु घर्ष्वयः | नक्षन्ति रुद्रा अवसा नमस्विनं न मर्धन्ति सवतवसो हविष्क्र्तम
IAST Romanisation
nityaṃ na sūnuṃ madhu bibhrata upa krīḷanti krīḷā vidatheṣu ghṛṣvayaḥ | nakṣanti rudrā avasā namasvinaṃ na mardhanti svatavaso haviṣkṛtam
English Translation (Griffith)
Bringing the pleasant meath as ’twere their own dear son, they sport in sportive wise gay at their gatherings. The Rudras come with succour to the worshipper; self-strong they fail not him who offers sacrifice.
