Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 4.27.4

RV 4.27.4

ऋजिप्य ईम् इन्द्रावतो न भुज्युं श्येनो जभार बृहतो अधि ष्णोः । अन्तः पतत् पतत्र्य् अस्य पर्णम् अध यामनि प्रसितस्य तद् वेः ॥

ṛjipya īm indrāvato na bhujyuṃ śyeno jabhāra bṛhato adhi ṣṇoḥ | antaḥ patat patatry asya parṇam adha yāmani prasitasya tad veḥ ||

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

The allusion in the first line is to the rescue of Bhujyu, by the Asvins (see I. 112. 6), and we should therefore expect indravatoh, 'of Indra's two friends, instead of indravato. Feather: parnám, which became on earth the sacred Parpa or Palasa tree, the beautiful Butea Frondosa.
