RV 3.39.4

नकिर् एषां निन्दिता मर्त्येषु ये अस्माकम् पितरो गोषु योधाः । इन्द्र एषां दृंहिता माहिनावान् उद् गोत्राणि ससृजे दंसनावान् ॥

nakir eṣāṃ ninditā martyeṣu ye asmākam pitaro goṣu yodhāḥ | indra eṣāṃ dṛṃhitā māhināvān ud gotrāṇi sasṛje daṃsanāvān ||

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

Not one is found among them, none of mortals, to blame our sires who fought to win the cattle. Their strengthener was Indra the Majestic he spread their stalls of kine the Wonder-Worker.
