Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 4.16.6

RV 4.16.6

विश्वानि शक्रो नर्याणि विद्वान् अपो रिरेच सखिभिर् निकामैः । अश्मानं चिद् ये बिभिदुर् वचोभिर् व्रजं गोमन्तम् उशिजो वि वव्रुः ॥

viśvāni śakro naryāṇi vidvān apo rireca sakhibhir nikāmaiḥ | aśmānaṃ cid ye bibhidur vacobhir vrajaṃ gomantam uśijo vi vavruḥ ||

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

Sakra who knoweth well all human actions hath with his eager Friends let loose the waters. They with their songs cleft e'en the mountain open and willingly disclosed the stall of cattle.
