RV 4.38.1

उतो हि वां दात्रा सन्ति पूर्वा या पूरुभ्यस् त्रसदस्युर् नितोशे । क्षेत्रासां ददथुर् उर्वरासां घनं दस्युभ्यो अभिभूतिम् उग्रम् ॥

uto hi vāṃ dātrā santi pūrvā yā pūrubhyas trasadasyur nitośe | kṣetrāsāṃ dadathur urvarāsāṃ ghanaṃ dasyubhyo abhibhūtim ugram ||

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

From you two came the gifts in days aforetime which Trasadasyu granted to the Purus. Ye gave the winner of our fields and plough-lands, and the strong smiter who subdued the Dasytis.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
