Rig Veda 1.167.4
Sanskrit (Devanagari)
परा शुभ्रा अयासो यव्या साधारण्येव मरुतो मिमिक्षुः | न रोदसी अप नुदन्त घोरा जुषन्त वर्धं सख्याय देवाः
IAST Romanisation
parā śubhrā ayāso yavyā sādhāraṇyeva maruto mimikṣuḥ | na rodasī apa nudanta ghorā juṣanta vṛdhaṃ sakhyāya devāḥ
English Translation (Griffith)
Far off the brilliant, never-weary Maruts cling to the young Maid as a joint possession. The fierce Gods drave not Rodasī before them, but wished for her to grow their friend and fellow.
