Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 4.1.6

RV 4.1.6

अस्य श्रेष्ठा सुभगस्य संदृग् देवस्य चित्रतमा मर्त्येषु । शुचि घृतं न तप्तम् अघ्न्याया स्पार्हा देवस्य मंहनेव धेनोः ॥

asya śreṣṭhā subhagasya saṃdṛg devasya citratamā martyeṣu | śuci ghṛtaṃ na taptam aghnyāyā spārhā devasya maṃhaneva dhenoḥ ||

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

Excellent is the glance, of brightest splendour, which the auspicious God bestows on mortals- The God's glance, longed-for even as the butter, pure, heated, of the cow, the milch-cow's bounty.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
