AVŚ 18.1.20

सो चित् नु भद्रा क्षुमती यशस्वत्य् उषा उवास मनवे स्वर्वती । यद् ईम् उशन्तम् उशताम् अनु क्रतुम् अग्निं होतारं विदथाय जीजनन् ॥२०॥ २

so cit nu bhadrā kṣumatī yaśasvaty uṣā uvāsa manave svarvatī | yad īm uśantam uśatām anu kratum agniṃ hotāraṃ vidathāya jījanan ||20|| 2

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

She now, the excellent, rich in food, full of glory—the dawn hath shone for man (mánu), full of light (svàr-); since they have generated for the council [as] hótṛ Agni, the eager one, after the will (krátu) of the eager ones.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
