RV 4.23.1

कथा महाम् अवृधत् कस्य होतुर् यज्ञं जुषाणो अभि सोमम् ऊधः । पिबन्न् उशानो जुषमाणो अन्धो ववक्ष ऋष्वः शुचते धनाय ॥

kathā mahām avṛdhat kasya hotur yajñaṃ juṣāṇo abhi somam ūdhaḥ | pibann uśāno juṣamāṇo andho vavakṣa ṛṣvaḥ śucate dhanāya ||

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

How, what priest's sacrifice hath he made mighty, rejoicing in the Soma and its fountain? Delighting in juice, eagerly drinking, the Lofty One hath waxed for splendid riches.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
