AVŚ 20.25.2
आपो न देवीर् उप यन्ति होत्रियम् अवः पश्यन्ति विततं यथा रजः । प्राचैर् देवासः प्र णयन्ति देवयुं ब्रह्मप्रियं जोषयन्ते वरा इव ॥२॥
āpo na devīr upa yanti hotriyam avaḥ paśyanti vitataṃ yathā rajaḥ | prācair devāsaḥ pra ṇayanti devayuṃ brahmapriyaṃ joṣayante varā iva ||2||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
The heavenly Waters come not nigh the priestly bowl: they but look down and see how far mid-air is spread: The Deities conduct the pious man to them: like suitors they delight in him who loveth prayer.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)This is the translator's rendering of the same verse where it occurs at RV 1.83.2; the wording of this text may differ in places.
