Sukta 4.2
आ यूथेव क्षुमति पश्वो अख्यद्देवानां यज्जनिमान्त्युग्र । मर्तानां चिदुर्वशीरकृप्रन्वृधे चिदर्य उपरस्यायोः ॥
ā́ yū́theva kṣu-máti paśvó akhyad devā́nāṃ yáj jánimā́nty ùgra | mártānāṃ cid urváśīr akṛpran vṛdhé cid aryá úparasy āyóḥ ||
Like a herd, the rich life-powers came into view when the mighty birth of the gods drew near. Even for mortals the Urvaśīs (wide-shining inspirations) were fashioned; even for increase the noble one found the higher life-force.
