AVŚ 20.76.4

कद् उ द्युम्नम् इन्द्र त्वावतो नॄन् कया धिया करसे कन् न आगन् । मित्रो न सत्य उरुगाय भृत्या अन्ने समस्य यद् असन् मनीषाः ॥४॥

kad u dyumnam indra tvāvato nṝn kayā dhiyā karase kan na āgan | mitro na satya urugāya bhṛtyā anne samasya yad asan manīṣāḥ ||4||

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

Indra, what fame hath one like thee mid heroes? With what plan wilt thou act? Why hast thou sought us? As a true Friend, Wide-Strider! to sustain us, since food absorbs the thought of each among us.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)This is the translator's rendering of the same verse where it occurs at RV 10.29.4; the wording of this text may differ in places.
