RV 9.69.3

अव्ये वधूयुः पवते परि त्वचि श्रथ्नीते नप्तीर् अदितेर् ऋतं यते । हरिर् अक्रान् यजतः संयतो मदो नृम्णा शिशानो महिषो न शोभते ॥

avye vadhūyuḥ pavate pari tvaci śrathnīte naptīr aditer ṛtaṃ yate | harir akrān yajataḥ saṃyato mado nṛmṇā śiśāno mahiṣo na śobhate ||

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

He flows about the sheep-skin, longing for a bride: he looses Aditi's Daughters for the worshipper. The sacred drink hath come, gold-tinted, well-restrained: like a strong Bull he shines, whetting his manly might.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
