Rig Veda 1.168.3

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

सोमासो न ये सुतास्त्र्प्तांशवो हर्त्सु पीतासो दुवसो नासते | ऐषामंसेषु रम्भिणीव रारभे हस्तेषु खादिश्चक्र्तिश्च सं दधे

IAST Romanisation

somāso na ye sutāstṛptāṃśavo hṛtsu pītāso duvaso nāsate | aiṣāmaṃseṣu rambhiṇīva rārabhe hasteṣu khādiścakṛtiśca saṃ dadhe

English Translation (Griffith)

They who, like Somas with their well-grown stalks pressed out, imbibed within the heart, dwell there in friendly wise. Upon their shoulders rests as ’twere a warrior's spear and in their hand they hold a dagger and a ring.
