AVŚ 20.73.5

सो चिन् नु वृष्टिर् यूथ्या स्वा सचां इन्द्रः श्मश्रूणि हरिताभि प्रुष्णुते । अव वेति सुक्षयं सुते मधूद् इद् धूणोति वातो यथा वनम् ॥५॥

so cin nu vṛṣṭir yūthyā svā sacāṃ indraḥ śmaśrūṇi haritābhi pruṣṇute | ava veti sukṣayaṃ sute madhūd id dhūṇoti vāto yathā vanam ||5||

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

With him too is this rain of his that comes like herds: Indra throws drops of moisture on his yellow beard. When the sweet juice is shed he seeks the pleasant place, and stirs the worshipper as wind disturbs the wood.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)This is the translator's rendering of the same verse where it occurs at RV 10.23.4; the wording of this text may differ in places.
