Rig Veda 10.117.6
Sanskrit (Devanagari)
मोघमन्नं विन्दते अप्रचेताः सत्यं बरवीमि वध इत सतस्य | नार्यमणं पुष्यति नो सखायं केवलाघो भवतिकेवलादी
IAST Romanisation
moghamannaṃ vindate apracetāḥ satyaṃ bravīmi vadha it satasya | nāryamaṇaṃ puṣyati no sakhāyaṃ kevalāgho bhavatikevalādī
English Translation (Griffith)
The foolish man wins food with fruitless labour: that food -I speak the truth- shall be his ruin. He feeds no trusty friend, no man to love him. All guilt is he who eats with no partaker.
