AVŚ 20.77.4

स्वर् यद् वेदि सुदृशीकम् अर्कैर् महि ज्योती रुरुचुर् यद् ध वस्तोः । अन्धा तमांसि दुधिता विचक्षे नृभ्यश् चकार नृतमो अभिष्टौ ॥४॥

svar yad vedi sudṛśīkam arkair mahi jyotī rurucur yad dha vastoḥ | andhā tamāṃsi dudhitā vicakṣe nṛbhyaś cakāra nṛtamo abhiṣṭau ||4||

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

When heaven's fair light by hymns was made apparent (they made great splendour shine at break of morning), He with his succour, best of Heroes, scattered the blinding darkness so that men saw clearly.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)This is the translator's rendering of the same verse where it occurs at RV 4.16.4; the wording of this text may differ in places.
