RV 2.13.4

प्रजाभ्यः पुष्टिं विभजन्त आसते रयिम् इव पृष्ठम् प्रभवन्तम् आयते । असिन्वन् दंष्ट्रैः पितुर् अत्ति भोजनं यस् ताकृणोः प्रथमं सास्य् उक्थ्यः ॥

prajābhyaḥ puṣṭiṃ vibhajanta āsate rayim iva pṛṣṭham prabhavantam āyate | asinvan daṃṣṭraiḥ pitur atti bhojanaṃ yas tākṛṇoḥ prathamaṃ sāsy ukthyaḥ ||

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

Dealing out food unto their people there they sit, like wealth to him who comes, more than the back can bear. Greedily with his teeth he eats the master's food. Thou who didst these things first art worthy of our lauds.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
