Rig Veda 3.53.23

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

न सायकस्य चिकिते जनासो लोधं नयन्ति पशु मन्यमानाः | नावाजिनं वाजिना हासयन्ति न गर्दभं पुरो अश्वान नयन्ति

IAST Romanisation

na sāyakasya cikite janāso lodhaṃ nayanti paśu manyamānāḥ | nāvājinaṃ vājinā hāsayanti na ghardabhaṃ puro aśvān nayanti

English Translation (Griffith)

Men notice not the arrow, O ye people; they bring the red beast deeming it a bullock. A sluggish steed men run not with the courser, nor ever lead an ass before a charger.
