1.170.1

na nū̱nam asti̱ no śvaḥ kas tad ve̍da̱ yad adbhu̍tam |
a̱nyasya̍ ci̱ttam a̱bhi sa̍ṁca̱reṇya̍m u̱tādhī̍ta̱ṁ vi na̍śyati ||

NAUGHT is to-day, to-morrow naught. Who comprehends the mystery? We must address ourselves unto another's thought, and lost is then the hope we formed.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda

kiṁ na̍ indra jighāṁsasi̱ bhrāta̍ro ma̱ruta̱s tava̍ |
tebhi̍ḥ kalpasva sādhu̱yā mā na̍ḥ sa̱mara̍ṇe vadhīḥ ||

The Maruts are thy brothers. Why, O Indra, wouldst thou take our lives? Agree with them in friendly wise, and do not slay us in the fight.

Agastya, brother, why dost thou neglect us, thou who art our friend? We know the nature of thy mind. Verity thou wilt give us naught.

tvam ī̍śiṣe vasupate̱ vasū̍nā̱ṁ tvam mi̱trāṇā̍m mitrapate̱ dheṣṭha̍ḥ |
indra̱ tvam ma̱rudbhi̱ḥ saṁ va̍da̱svādha̱ prāśā̍na ṛtu̱thā ha̱vīṁṣi̍ ||

Thou, Lord of Wealth, art Master of all treasures, thou, Lord of friends, art thy friends' best supporter. O Indra, speak thou kindly with the Maruts, and taste oblations in their proper season.
