AV 20 119.2

तुरण्यवो मधुमन्तं घृतश्चुतं विप्रासो अर्कम् आनृचुः । अस्मे रयिः पप्रथे वृष्ण्यं शवो ऽस्मे सुवानास इन्दवः

turaṇyavo madhumantaṃ ghṛtaścutaṃ viprāso arkam ānṛcuḥ | asme rayiḥ paprathe vṛṣṇyaṃ śavo 'sme suvānāsa indavaḥ

Hastening, the inspired ones have chanted the honeyed, ghee-dripping song. In us wealth has spread wide, and bull-like might; in us the pressed drops.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

In zealous haste the singers have sung forth a song distilling oil and rich in sweets. Riches have spread among us, and heroic strength; with us are flowing Soma drops.
