RV 1.173.1

गायत् साम नभन्यं यथा वेर् अर्चाम तद् वावृधानं स्वर्वत् । गावो धेनवो बर्हिष्य् अदब्धा आ यत् सद्मानं दिव्यं विवासान् ॥

gāyat sāma nabhanyaṃ yathā ver arcāma tad vāvṛdhānaṃ svarvat | gāvo dhenavo barhiṣy adabdhā ā yat sadmānaṃ divyaṃ vivāsān ||

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

The praise-song let him sing forth bursting bird-like: sing we that hymn which like heaven's light expandeth, That the milk-giving cows may, unimpeded call to the sacred grass the Gods' assembly.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
