AVŚ 20.17.8

वृषा न क्रुद्धः पतयद् रजःस्व् आ यो अर्यपत्नीर् अकृणोद् इमा अपः । स सुन्वते मघवा जीरदानवे ऽविन्दज् ज्योतिर् मनवे हविष्मते ॥८॥

vṛṣā na kruddhaḥ patayad rajaḥsv ā yo aryapatnīr akṛṇod imā apaḥ | sa sunvate maghavā jīradānave 'vindaj jyotir manave haviṣmate ||8||

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

He rushes through the region like a furious Bull, he who hath made these floods the dames of worthy lords. This Maghavan hath found light for the man who brings oblation, sheds the juice, and promptly pours his gifts.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)This is the translator's rendering of the same verse where it occurs at RV 10.43.8; the wording of this text may differ in places.
