Rig Veda 6.9.2

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

नाहं तन्तुं न वि जानाम्योतुं न यं वयन्ति समरेऽतमानाः | कस्य सवित पुत्र इह वक्त्वानि परो वदात्यवरेण पित्रा

IAST Romanisation

nāhaṃ tantuṃ na vi jānāmyotuṃ na yaṃ vayanti samare'tamānāḥ | kasya svit putra iha vaktvāni paro vadātyavareṇa pitrā

English Translation (Griffith)

I know not either warp or woof, I know not the web they weave when moving to the contest. Whose son shall here speak words that must be spoken without assistance from the Father near him?
