Sukta 23
येन देवा अमृतमन्वविन्दन् येनौषधीर्मधुमतीरकृण्वन्। येन देवाः स्व१राभरन्त्स नो मुञ्चत्वंहसः
yéna devā́ amṛ́tam anvávindan yéna oṣadhī́r mádhu-matī́r ákṛṇvan | yéna devā́ḥ svàḥ ā́-bharan sá no muñcatv áṃhasaḥ ||
Wherewith the Gods won immortality; wherewith they made the plants honey-sweet; wherewith the Gods brought hither heaven—may he release us from anguish.
