Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 8.9.24

AVŚ 8.9.24

केवलीन्द्राय दुदुहे हि गृष्टिर् वशम् पीयूषं प्रथमं दुहाना । अथातर्पयच् चतुरश् चतुर्धा देवान् मनुष्यां असुरान् उत ऋषीन् ॥२४॥

kevalīndrāya duduhe hi gṛṣṭir vaśam pīyūṣaṃ prathamaṃ duhānā | athātarpayac caturaś caturdhā devān manuṣyāṃ asurān uta ṛṣīn ||24||

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

Since the heifer milked solely (kévalī) for Indra [his] will (váça), the beestings, [when] first milked, then [she] gratified in four ways the four—gods, men, Asuras, and seers.
