Rig Veda 10.27.24: Mandala 10, Sukta 27, Mantra 24

Sukta 10.27

Devata: Indra (by contrast: anindrān; the needed power to avoid violent distortion)
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (probable; needs verification)
Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

सा ते जीवातुरुत तस्य विद्धि मा स्मैतादृगप गूहः समर्ये । आविः स्वः कृणुते गूहते बुसं स पादुरस्य निर्णिजो न मुच्यते ॥

Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 10.27.24
Transliteration

sā́ te jīvā́tur uta tásya viddhi mā́ smáitā́dṛ́g ápa gūhaḥ samaryé | āvíḥ svàḥ kṛṇuté gūhaté busáṃ sá pā́dur asya nirṇíjo ná mucyate ||

Translation

Das ist deine Lebenskraft; erkenne auch ihr Geheimnis. Verbirg nicht ein solches Schauen im Kampf um die rechte Erfüllung. Wer die Sonnenwelt offenbar macht und doch die Hülse verbirgt – er, der Hüter an der Schwelle, wird nicht von seinem Hüllgewand entbunden.
