Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 4.27.5

RV 4.27.5

अध श्वेतं कलशं गोभिर् अक्तम् आपिप्यानम् मघवा शुक्रम् अन्धः । अध्वर्युभिः प्रयतम् मध्वो अग्रम् इन्द्रो मदाय प्रति धत् पिबध्यै शूरो मदाय प्रति धत् पिबध्यै ॥

adha śvetaṃ kalaśaṃ gobhir aktam āpipyānam maghavā śukram andhaḥ | adhvaryubhiḥ prayatam madhvo agram indro madāya prati dhat pibadhyai śūro madāya prati dhat pibadhyai ||

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

The metrical form and the ritual application indicate the comparatively recent addition of this stanza to the ancient hymn. The hymn has been discussed by Weber, Vedische Beiträge, pp. 4. ff.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
