Rig Veda 10.71.6
Sanskrit (Devanagari)
यस्तित्याज सचिविदं सखायं न तस्य वाच्यपि भागोस्ति | यदीं शर्णोत्यलकं शर्णोति नहि परवेद सुक्र्तस्यपन्थाम
IAST Romanisation
yastityāja sacividaṃ sakhāyaṃ na tasya vācyapi bhāghoasti | yadīṃ śṛṇotyalakaṃ śṛṇoti nahi praveda sukṛtasyapanthām
English Translation (Griffith)
No part in Vāk hath he who hath abandoned his own dear friend who knows the truth of friendship. Even if he hears her still in vain he listens: naught knows he of the path of righteous action.
