RV 4.20.9

कया तच् छृण्वे शच्या शचिष्ठो यया कृणोति मुहु का चिद् ऋष्वः । पुरु दाशुषे विचयिष्ठो अंहो ऽथा दधाति द्रविणं जरित्रे ॥

kayā tac chṛṇve śacyā śaciṣṭho yayā kṛṇoti muhu kā cid ṛṣvaḥ | puru dāśuṣe vicayiṣṭho aṃho 'thā dadhāti draviṇaṃ jaritre ||

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

By what great might is he renowned as strongest, wherewith the Lofty One stirs up wild battles? Best soother of the worshipper's great sorrow, he gives possessions to the man who lauds him.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
