2.13.4

pra̱jābhya̍ḥ pu̱ṣṭiṁ vi̱bhaja̍nta āsate ra̱yim i̍va pṛ̱ṣṭham pra̱bhava̍ntam āya̱te |
asi̍nva̱n daṁṣṭrai̍ḥ pi̱tur a̍tti̱ bhoja̍na̱ṁ yas tākṛ̍ṇoḥ pratha̱maṁ sāsy u̱kthya̍ḥ ||

Dealing out food unto their people there they sit, like wealth to him who comes, more than the back can bear. Greedily with his teeth he eats the master's food. Thou who didst these things first art worthy of our lauds.

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