RV 6.70.4

घृतेन द्यावापृथिवी अभीवृते घृतश्रिया घृतपृचा घृतावृधा । उर्वी पृथ्वी होतृवूर्ये पुरोहिते ते इद् विप्रा ईळते सुम्नम् इष्टये ॥

ghṛtena dyāvāpṛthivī abhīvṛte ghṛtaśriyā ghṛtapṛcā ghṛtāvṛdhā | urvī pṛthvī hotṛvūrye purohite te id viprā īḷate sumnam iṣṭaye ||

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

Enclosed in fatness, Heaven and Earth are bright therewith: they mingle with the fatness which they still increase. Wide, broad, set foremost at election of the priest, to them the singers pray for bliss to further them.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
