Rig Veda 10.23.4

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

सो चिन नु वर्ष्टिर्यूथ्या सवा सचानिन्द्रः शमश्रूणिहरिताभि परुष्णुते | अव वेति सुक्षयं सुते मधूदिद्धूनोति वातो यथा वनम

IAST Romanisation

so cin nu vṛṣṭiryūthyā svā sacānindraḥ śmaśrūṇiharitābhi pruṣṇute | ava veti sukṣayaṃ sute madhūdiddhūnoti vāto yathā vanam

English Translation (Griffith)

With him too is this rain of his that comes like herds: Indra throws drops of moisture on his yellow beard. When the sweet juice is shed he seeks the pleasant place, and stirs the worshipper as wind disturbs the wood.
