Rig Veda 4.24.9
Sanskrit (Devanagari)
भूयसा वस्नम अचरत कनीयो ऽविक्रीतो अकानिषम पुनर यन | स भूयसा कनीयो नारिरेचीद दीना दक्षा वि दुहन्ति पर वाणम
IAST Romanisation
bhūyasā vasnam acarat kanīyo 'vikrīto akāniṣam punar yan | sa bhūyasā kanīyo nārirecīd dīnā dakṣā vi duhanti pra vāṇam
English Translation (Griffith)
He bid a small price for a thing of value: I was content, returning, still unpurchased. He heightened not his insufficient offer. Simple and clever, both milk out the udder.
