AVŚ 20.76.6

मात्रे नु ते सुमिते इन्द्र पूर्वी द्यौर् मज्मना पृथिवी काव्येन । वराय ते घृतवन्तः सुतासः स्वाद्नन् भवन्तु पीतये मधूनि ॥६॥

mātre nu te sumite indra pūrvī dyaur majmanā pṛthivī kāvyena | varāya te ghṛtavantaḥ sutāsaḥ svādnan bhavantu pītaye madhūni ||6||

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

Thine are two measures, Indra, wide-well meted, heaven for thy majesty, earth for thy wisdom. Here for thy choice are Somas mixed with butter: may the sweet meath be pleasant for thy drinking.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)This is the translator's rendering of the same verse where it occurs at RV 10.29.6; the wording of this text may differ in places.
