Sukta 5.48
तामस्य रीतिं परशोरिव प्रत्यनीकमख्यं भुजे अस्य वर्पसः । सचा यदि पितुमन्तमिव क्षयं रत्नं दधाति भरहूतये विशे ॥
tā́m asya rītíṃ paraśór iva práty anī́kam akhyaṃ bhujé asya várpasaḥ | sacā́ yádi pitumántam iva kṣáyaṃ rátnam dádhāti bhárahūtaye viśé ||
That course of his I behold, like the stroke of an axe, set face to face—his front of luminous form. And when he sets the treasure in a dwelling rich with nourishment, then for the clan that calls for support he establishes the boon.
