Rig Veda 5.2.4

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

कषेत्राद अपश्यं सनुतश चरन्तं सुमद यूथं न पुरु शोभमानम | न ता अग्र्भ्रन्न अजनिष्ट हि षः पलिक्नीर इद युवतयो भवन्ति

IAST Romanisation

kṣetrād apaśyaṃ sanutaś carantaṃ sumad yūthaṃ na puru śobhamānam | na tā aghṛbhrann ajaniṣṭa hi ṣaḥ paliknīr id yuvatayo bhavanti

English Translation (Griffith)

I saw him moving from the place he dwells in, even as with a herd, brilliantly shining. These seized him not: he had been born already. They who were grey with age again grow youthful.
