RV 4.1.16

ते मन्वत प्रथमं नाम धेनोस् त्रिः सप्त मातुः परमाणि विन्दन् । तज् जानतीर् अभ्य् अनूषत व्रा आविर् भुवद् अरुणीर् यशसा गोः ॥

te manvata prathamaṃ nāma dhenos triḥ sapta mātuḥ paramāṇi vindan | taj jānatīr abhy anūṣata vrā āvir bhuvad aruṇīr yaśasā goḥ ||

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

The Milch-cow's earliest name they comprehended: they found the Mother's thrice-seven noblest titles. This the bands knew, and sent forth acclamation: with the Bull's sheen the Red One was apparent.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
