Rig Veda 10.117.7
Sanskrit (Devanagari)
कर्षन्नित फाल आशितं कर्णोति यन्नध्वानमप वर्ङकतेचरित्रैः | वदन बरह्मावदतो वनीयान पर्णन्नापिरप्र्णन्तमभि षयात
IAST Romanisation
kṛṣannit phāla āśitaṃ kṛṇoti yannadhvānamapa vṛṅktecaritraiḥ | vadan brahmāvadato vanīyān pṛṇannāpirapṛṇantamabhi ṣyāt
English Translation (Griffith)
The ploughshare ploughing makes the food that feeds us, and with its feet cuts through the path it follows. Better the speaking than the silent Brahman: the liberal friend outyalues him who gives not.
