AVŚ 20.17.6

विशंविशं मघवा पर्य् अशायत जनानां धेना अवचाकशद् वृषा । यस्याह शक्रः सवनेषु रण्यति स तीव्रैः सोमैः सहते पृतन्यतः ॥६॥

viśaṃviśaṃ maghavā pary aśāyata janānāṃ dhenā avacākaśad vṛṣā | yasyāha śakraḥ savaneṣu raṇyati sa tīvraiḥ somaiḥ sahate pṛtanyataḥ ||6||

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

Maghavan came by turns to all the tribes of men: the Steer took notice of the people's songs of praise. The man in whose libations Sakra hath delight by means of potent Somas vanquisheth his foes.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)This is the translator's rendering of the same verse where it occurs at RV 10.43.6; the wording of this text may differ in places.
