AVŚ 20.17.4

वयो न वृक्षं सुपलाशम् आसदन्त् सोमास इन्द्रं मन्दिनश् चमूषदः । प्रैषाम् अनीकं शवसा दविद्युतद् विदत् स्वर् मनवे ज्योतिर् आर्यम् ॥४॥

vayo na vṛkṣaṃ supalāśam āsadant somāsa indraṃ mandinaś camūṣadaḥ | praiṣām anīkaṃ śavasā davidyutad vidat svar manave jyotir āryam ||4||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

As on the fair-leafed tree rest birds, to Indra flow the gladdening Soma juices that the bowls contain. Their face that glows with splendour through their mighty power hath found the shine of heaven for man, the Aryas' light.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)This is the translator's rendering of the same verse where it occurs at RV 10.43.4; the wording of this text may differ in places.
