RV 3.48.2

यज् जायथास् तद् अहर् अस्य कामे ऽंशोः पीयूषम् अपिबो गिरिष्ठाम् । तं ते माता परि योषा जनित्री महः पितुर् दम आसिञ्चद् अग्रे ॥

yaj jāyathās tad ahar asya kāme 'ṃśoḥ pīyūṣam apibo giriṣṭhām | taṃ te mātā pari yoṣā janitrī mahaḥ pitur dama āsiñcad agre ||

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

That day when thou wast born thou, fain to taste it, drankest the plant's milk which the mountains nourish. That milk thy Mother first, the Dame who bare thee, poured for thee in thy mighty Father's dwelling.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
