Rig Veda 10.95.15
Sanskrit (Devanagari)
पुरूरवो मा मर्था मा पर पप्तो मा तवा वर्कासो अशिवास उक्षन | न वै सत्रैणानि सख्यानि सन्ति सालाव्र्काणांह्र्दयान्येता
IAST Romanisation
purūravo mā mṛthā mā pra papto mā tvā vṛkāso aśivāsa ukṣan | na vai straiṇāni sakhyāni santi sālāvṛkāṇāṃhṛdayānyetā
English Translation (Griffith)
Nay, do not die, Purūravas, nor vanish: let not the evil-omened wolves devour thee. With women there can be no lasting friendship: hearts of hyenas are the hearts of women.
