10.10.13

ba̱to ba̍tāsi yama̱ naiva te̱ mano̱ hṛda̍yaṁ cāvidāma |
a̱nyā kila̱ tvāṁ ka̱kṣye̍va yu̱ktam pari̍ ṣvajāte̱ libu̍jeva vṛ̱kṣam ||

Alas! thou art indeed a weakling, Yama we find in thee no trace of heart or spirit. As round the tree the woodbine clings, another will cling albout thee girt as with a girdle.

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