VS 17.96

अभि प्रवन्त समनेव योषाः कल्याण्यः स्मयमानासो ऽ अग्निम् । घृतस्य धाराः समिधो नसन्त ता जुषाणो हर्यति जातवेदाः ॥

abhi pravanta samaneva yoṣāḥ kalyāṇyaḥ smayamānāso ' agnim | ghṛtasya dhārāḥ samidho nasanta tā juṣāṇo haryati jātavedāḥ ||

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

Like women at a gathering fair to look on and gently smiling, they incline to Agni. The streams of holy oil attain the fuel, and Jatavedas joyfully receives them.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)This is the translator's rendering of the same verse where it occurs at RV 4.58.8; the wording of this text may differ in places.
