RV 9 84.1

पवस्व देवमादनो विचर्षणिर् अप्सा इन्द्राय वरुणाय वायवे । कृधी नो अद्य वरिवः स्वस्तिमद् उरुक्षितौ गृणीहि दैव्यꣳ जनम्

pavasva devamādano vicarṣaṇir apsā indrāya varuṇāya vāyave | kṛdhī no adya varivaḥ svastimad urukṣitau gṛṇīhi daivyaṁ janam

Purify yourself, gladdener of the gods, standing out among men, winning the waters, for Indra, for Varuṇa, for Vāyu. Make for us today free space full of well-being; in the wide dwelling-place sing of the divine folk.

The cows blend with their milk that Soma, swollen with milk, the finder of the sun, (and men blend him) with their thoughts. The effective juice flows, winner of wealth, the inspired one, the seer, brilliantly shining by his seer-craft.

The kine with milk dress him who makes the milk increase, Soma, amid the songs, who finds the light of heaven. Winner of wealth, the effectual juice is flowing on, Singer and Sage by wisdom, dear as heaven itself.
