10.117.1
न वा उ॑ दे॒वाः क्षुध॒मिद्व॒धं द॑दुरु॒ताशि॑त॒मुप॑ गच्छन्ति मृ॒त्यवः॑ ।
उ॒तो र॒यिः पृ॑ण॒तो नोप॑ दस्यति उ॒तापृ॑णन्मर्डि॒तारं॒ न वि॑न्दते ॥
The gods did not give death to the hungry, nor to the one who has eaten; deaths come near to him. The wealth of the giver does not perish; the one who does not give does not find a giver of happiness.
10.117.2
य आ॒ध्राय॑ चकमा॒नाय॑ पि॒त्वो अन्न॑वा॒न्त्सन्र॑फि॒तायो॑पज॒ग्मुषे॑ ।
स्थि॒रं मनः॑ कृणु॒ते सेव॑ते पु॒रोतो चि॒त्स म॑र्डि॒तारं॒ न वि॑न्दते ॥
He who, having food, gives to the stationary and the thirsty one who has come near, makes his mind firm and serves him; before and even now he finds a giver of happiness.
10.117.3
स इद्भो॒जो यो गृ॒हवे॒ ददा॑ति॒ अन्न॑कामाय॒ चर॑ते कृ॒शाय॑ ।
अर॑मस्मै भवति॒ याम॑हूतौ उ॒ताप॒रीषु॑ कृणुते॒ सखा॑यम् ॥
He is the true feast-giver who gives to the householder and to the weak one wandering in search of food. When he calls for help, it comes to him, and he makes a friend among the women.
10.117.4
न स सखा॒ यो न ददा॑ति॒ सख्ये॑ सचा॒भुवे॒ सच॑मानाय पि॒त्वः ।
अपा॑स्मा॒त्प्रेया॒न्न तदोको॑ अस्ति पृ॒णन्त॑म॒न्यमर॑णं चिदिच्छेत् ॥
He who does not give to a friend is no friend, nor is he who does not give to the companion who shares the drink beside him. Let it go far from him; let his home not remain his own. Let him seek the one who fills and another poor man.
10.117.5
पृ॒णी॒यादिन्नाध॑मानाय॒ तव्या॒न्द्राघी॑यांस॒मनु॑ पश्येत॒ पन्था॑म् ।
ओ हि वर्त॑न्ते॒ रथ्ये॑व च॒क्रान्यम॑न्य॒मुप॑ तिष्ठन्त॒ रायः॑ ॥
Let one fill him who seeks help; let the strong one look along the far path. As the wheels of a chariot turn, so riches turn back one after another and stand near.
10.117.6
मोघ॒मन्नं॑ विन्दते॒ अप्र॑चेताः स॒त्यं ब्र॑वीमि व॒ध इत्स तस्य॑ ।
नार्य॒मणं॒ पुष्य॑ति॒ नो सखा॑यं॒ केव॑लाघो भवति केवला॒दी ॥
The one who lacks understanding finds worthless food; I speak the truth, he is indeed a destroyer. He does not nourish the friend of Aryaman, nor a friend; the one who eats alone becomes a sinner for himself alone.
10.117.7
कृ॒षन्नित्फाल॒ आशि॑तं कृणोति॒ यन्नध्वा॑न॒मप॑ वृङ्क्ते च॒रित्रैः॑ ।
वद॑न्ब्र॒ह्माव॑दतो॒ वनी॑यान्पृ॒णन्ना॒पिरपृ॑णन्तम॒भि ष्या॑त् ॥
The one who ploughs with the plough makes food; by his deeds he opens the path. More capable than the speaking priest, may the giver stand against the one who does not give.
10.117.8
एक॑पा॒द्भूयो॑ द्वि॒पदो॒ वि च॑क्रमे द्वि॒पात्त्रि॒पाद॑म॒भ्ये॑ति प॒श्चात् ।
चतु॑ष्पादेति द्वि॒पदा॑मभिस्व॒रे स॒म्पश्य॑न्प॒ङ्क्तीरु॑प॒तिष्ठ॑मानः ॥
The one-footed one strode further than the two-footed ones, in many directions; the two-footed goes toward the three-footed and comes after from behind. The four-footed one comes to the two-footed at the pressing of soma, looking at the rows and standing near them.
10.117.9
स॒मौ चि॒द्धस्तौ॒ न स॒मं वि॑विष्टः सम्मा॒तरा॑ चि॒न्न स॒मं दु॑हाते ।
य॒मयो॑श्चि॒न्न स॒मा वी॒र्या॑णि ज्ञा॒ती चि॒त्सन्तौ॒ न स॒मं पृ॑णीतः ॥
Even the two hands do not enter alike, nor do the two mothers draw milk alike. The powers of the twin Yama and Yamī are not equal; though kinsmen, they do not sustain alike.
