AVŚ 5.12.4

प्राचीनं बर्हिः प्रदिशा पृथिव्या वस्तोर् अस्या वृज्यते अग्रे अह्नाम् । व्य् उ प्रथते वितरं वरीयो देवेभ्यो अदितये स्योनम् ॥४॥

prācīnaṃ barhiḥ pradiśā pṛthivyā vastor asyā vṛjyate agre ahnām | vy u prathate vitaraṃ varīyo devebhyo aditaye syonam ||4||

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

By rule the Sacred Grass is scattered eastward, a robe to clothe this earth when dawns are breaking. Widely it spreads around and far-extended, fair for the Gods and bringing peace and freedom.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)This is the translator's rendering of the same verse where it occurs at RV 10.110.4; the wording of this text may differ in places.
