RV 4.2.17

सुकर्माणः सुरुचो देवयन्तो ऽयो न देवा जनिमा धमन्तः । शुचन्तो अग्निं ववृधन्त इन्द्रम् ऊर्वं गव्यम् परिषदन्तो अग्मन् ॥

sukarmāṇaḥ suruco devayanto 'yo na devā janimā dhamantaḥ | śucanto agniṃ vavṛdhanta indram ūrvaṃ gavyam pariṣadanto agman ||

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

Gods, doing holy acts, devout, resplendent, smelting like ore their human generations. Enkindling Agni and exalting Indra, they came encompassing the stall of cattle.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
