AVŚ 18.3.21
अधा यथा नः पितरः परासः प्रत्नासो अग्न ऋतम् आशशानाः । शुचीद् अयन् दीध्यत उक्थशसः क्षामा भिन्दन्तो अरुणीर् अप व्रन् ॥२१॥
adhā yathā naḥ pitaraḥ parāsaḥ pratnāso agna ṛtam āśaśānāḥ | śucīd ayan dīdhyata ukthaśasaḥ kṣāmā bhindanto aruṇīr apa vran ||21||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
As in the days of old our ancient Fathers, speeding the work of holy worship, Agni, Sought pure light and devotion, singing praises; they cleft the ground and made red Dawns apparent.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)This is the translator's rendering of the same verse where it occurs at RV 4.2.16; the wording of this text may differ in places.
