Rig Veda 10.95.3: Mandala 10, Sukta 95, Mantra 3
Sukta 10.95
इषुर्न श्रिय इषुधेरसना गोषाः शतसा न रंहिः । अवीरे क्रतौ वि दविद्युतन्नोरा न मायुं चितयन्त धुनयः ॥
íṣur ná śríya iṣudhér asanā́ goṣā́ḥ śatasā́ ná raṃhíḥ | avī́re krátau ví davidyutat nórā ná māyúṃ citayanta dhúnayaḥ ||
Like an arrow for splendor, like a quiver’s store, like cattle-winnings, like the speed of hundreds—so flashed our purpose. Yet without the hero in the will, the shaking powers do not heed the cry, nor do they recognize the anguished striving.
