इमां धियं सप्तशीर्ष्णीं पिता न ऋतप्रजातां बृहतीम् अविन्दत् । तुरीयं स्विज् जनयद् विश्वजन्यो ऽयास्य उक्थम् इन्द्राय शंसन् ॥१॥

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

This holy hymn, sublime and seven headed, sprung from eternal Law, our sire discovered. Ayasya, friend of all men, hath engendered the fourth hymn as he sang his laud to Indra.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)This is the translator's rendering of the same verse where it occurs at RV 10.67.1; the wording of this text may differ in places.
