कृषन्नित्फाल आशितं कृणोति यन्नध्वानमप वृङ्क्ते चरित्रैः । वदन्ब्रह्मावदतो वनीयान्पृणन्नापिरपृणन्तमभि ष्यात् ॥

Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 10.117.7

kṛṣánn ít phālá ā́śitaṃ kṛṇoti yánn ádhvānam ápa vṛṅkte carítraiḥ | vádān brahmā́ avádatō vanī́yān pṛṇán ā́pir apṛṇántam abhí syāt ||

Bahkan bajak, apabila bekerja, menghasilkan makanan; kerana dengan geraknya ia membersihkan jalan. Brahmana yang berkata lebih mulia daripada yang diam; yang mengisi (memberi) itulah penolong sejati—hendaklah ia berdiri menentang yang tidak mengisi.
