RV 4.3.9

ऋतेन ऋतं नियतम् ईळ आ गोर् आमा सचा मधुमत् पक्वम् अग्ने । कृष्णा सती रुशता धासिनैषा जामर्येण पयसा पीपाय ॥

ṛtena ṛtaṃ niyatam īḷa ā gor āmā sacā madhumat pakvam agne | kṛṣṇā satī ruśatā dhāsinaiṣā jāmaryeṇa payasā pīpāya ||

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

I crave the cow's true gift arranged by Order: though raw, she hath the sweet ripe juice, O Agni. Though she is black of hue with milk she teemeth, nutritious, brightly shining, all-sustaining.
