Sukta 2.39
ग्रावाणेव तदिदर्थं जरेथे गृध्रेव वृक्षं निधिमन्तमच्छ । ब्रह्माणेव विदथ उक्थशासा दूतेव हव्या जन्या पुरुत्रा ॥
grā́vāṇeva tád id árthaṃ jarethe gṛ́dhreva vṛkṣáṃ nidhí-mantam áccha | brahmā́ṇeva vidátha uktha-śā́sā dū́teva havyā́ janyā́ puru-trā́ ||
Like pressing-stones you two are set to the true purpose; like eager seekers you come to the tree laden with treasure. Like priests you move in the assemblies with hymn-command; like messengers you bear the offerings of men in many directions.
