ghṛ̱tenāhu̍ta urvi̱yā vi pa̍prathe̱ sūrya̍ iva rocate sa̱rpirā̍sutiḥ ||

Butter is that which makes Vadhryaṣva's fire growstrong: the butter is its food, the butter makes it fat. It spreads abroad when butter hath been offered it, and balmed with streams of butter shines forth like the Sun.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda
