Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 4.5.8

RV 4.5.8

प्रवाच्यं वचसः किम् मे अस्य गुहा हितम् उप निणिग् वदन्ति । यद् उस्रियाणाम् अप वार् इव व्रन् पाति प्रियं रुपो अग्रम् पदं वेः ॥

pravācyaṃ vacasaḥ kim me asya guhā hitam upa niṇig vadanti | yad usriyāṇām apa vār iva vran pāti priyaṃ rupo agram padaṃ veḥ ||

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

Of this my speech what shall I utter further? They indicate the milk stored up in secret When they have thrown as 'twere the cows' stalls open. The Bird protects earths' best and well-loved station.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
