ṛ̱tena̍ ṛ̱taṁ niya̍tam īḻa̱ ā gor ā̱mā sacā̱ madhu̍mat pa̱kvam a̍gne |
kṛ̱ṣṇā sa̱tī ruśa̍tā dhā̱sinai̱ṣā jāma̍ryeṇa̱ paya̍sā pīpāya ||

I crave the cow's true gift arranged by Order: though raw, she hath the sweet ripe juice, O Agni. Though she is black of hue with milk she teemeth, nutritious, brightly shining, all-sustaining.

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