Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 9.71.8

RV 9.71.8

त्वेषं रूपं कृणुते वर्णो अस्य स यत्राशयत् समृता सेधति स्रिधः । अप्सा याति स्वधया दैव्यं जनं सं सुष्टुती नसते सं गोअग्रया ॥

tveṣaṃ rūpaṃ kṛṇute varṇo asya sa yatrāśayat samṛtā sedhati sridhaḥ | apsā yāti svadhayā daivyaṃ janaṃ saṃ suṣṭutī nasate saṃ goagrayā ||

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

His covering assumes a radiant hue; where'er he comes into the fight he drives the foe afar. The Winner of the Floods, with food he seeks the host of heaven, he comes to praises glorified with milk.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
