Strong One! he marked them-and the Gods before them-like herds of cattle in a foodful pasture. There they moaned forth their strong desire for mortals, to aid the True, the nearest One, the Living.
Ralph T. H. Griffith

ā́ yūthéva kṣumáti paśvó akhyad devā́nāṃ jánimā́nty ugráḥ | mártāsaś cid urváśī́r akr̥pran vr̥dhé cid aryá úparasyāyóḥ ||23||

As herds at food (''kṣúm''), the formidable one hath looked over ''áti'' the cattle, the births of the gods, near by; mortals have lamented the ''urváçīs'', unto the increase of the pious, of the next man.
William Dwight Whitney (revised and edited by Charles Rockwell Lanman)

What a match here does and does not show

These links are derived by comparing normalised Sanskrit surfaces. They show that two collections carry the same wording. They are not, by themselves, a demonstrated line of transmission between them, and the direction stored on an edge is a property of how it was built.

Rigveda is one of four collections held here. Cross-corpus comparison bottoms out at the weakest shared surface, because a Devanagari text and a romanised text share no code points.

How these were derived1

  • Parallelism is symmetric and this graph stores it as a directed edge, so these relations are traversed in both directions and each row states which way the stored edge ran. All 1,684 REUSES_TEXT_FROM edges point Samaveda-to-Rigveda, and 1,421 Rigvedic passages have reuse edges only inbound; following the arrow would show those 1,421 verses no reuse at all.
