Rig Veda 10.10.8

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

न तिष्ठन्ति न नि मिषन्त्येते देवानां सपश इह येचरन्ति | अन्येन मदाहनो याहि तुयं तेन वि वर्ह रथ्येवचक्रा

IAST Romanisation

na tiṣṭhanti na ni miṣantyete devānāṃ spaśa iha yecaranti | anyena madāhano yāhi tuyaṃ tena vi vṛha rathyevacakrā

English Translation (Griffith)

They stand not still, they never close their eyelids, those sentinels of Gods who wander round us. Not me-go quickly, wanton, with another, and hasten like a chariot wheel to meet him.
