RV 3.31.9

नि गव्यता मनसा सेदुर् अर्कैः कृण्वानासो अमृतत्वाय गातुम् । इदं चिन् नु सदनम् भूर्य् एषां येन मासां असिषासन्न् ऋतेन ॥

ni gavyatā manasā sedur arkaiḥ kṛṇvānāso amṛtatvāya gātum | idaṃ cin nu sadanam bhūry eṣāṃ yena māsāṃ asiṣāsann ṛtena ||

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

They sate them down with spirit fain for booty, making with hymns a way to life eternal. And this is still their place of frequent session, whereby they sought to gain the months through Order.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
