Rig Veda 10.117.9
Sanskrit (Devanagari)
समौ चिद धस्तौ न समं विविष्टः सम्मातरा चिन नसमं दुहाते | यमयोश्चिन न समा वीर्याणि जञाती चित्सन्तौ न समं पर्णीतः
IAST Romanisation
samau cid dhastau na samaṃ viviṣṭaḥ sammātarā cin nasamaṃ duhāte | yamayościn na samā vīryāṇi jñātī citsantau na samaṃ pṛṇītaḥ
English Translation (Griffith)
The hands are both alike: their labour differs. The yield of sister milch-kine is unequal. Twins even diffier in their strength and vigour: two, even kinsmen, differ in their bounty.
