RV 6.66.1

वपुर् नु तच् चिकितुषे चिद् अस्तु समानं नाम धेनु पत्यमानम् । मर्तेष्व् अन्यद् दोहसे पीपाय सकृच् छुक्रं दुदुहे पृश्निर् ऊधः ॥

vapur nu tac cikituṣe cid astu samānaṃ nāma dhenu patyamānam | marteṣv anyad dohase pīpāya sakṛc chukraṃ duduhe pṛśnir ūdhaḥ ||

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

E'en to the wise let that be still a wonder to which the general name of Cow is given. The one hath swelled among mankind for milking: Prsni hath drained but once her fair bright udder.
