Rig Veda 1.173.11

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

यज्ञो हि षमेन्द्रं कश्चिद रन्धञ जुहुराणश्चिन मनसापरियन | तीर्थे नाछा तात्र्षाणमोको दीर्घो न सिध्रमा कर्णोत्यध्वा

IAST Romanisation

yajño hi ṣmendraṃ kaścid ṛndhañ juhurāṇaścin manasāpariyan | tīrthe nāchā tātṛṣāṇamoko dīrgho na sidhramā kṛṇotyadhvā

English Translation (Griffith)

For every sacrifice makes Indra stronger, yea, when he goes around angry in spirit; As pleasure at the ford invites the thirsty, as the long way brings him who gains his object.
