AVŚ 5.17.2

सोमो राजा प्रथमो ब्रह्मजायां पुनः प्रायछद् अहृणीयमानः । अन्वर्तिता वरुणो मित्र आसीद् अग्निर् होता हस्तगृह्या निनाय ॥२॥

somo rājā prathamo brahmajāyāṃ punaḥ prāyachad ahṛṇīyamānaḥ | anvartitā varuṇo mitra āsīd agnir hotā hastagṛhyā nināya ||2||

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

King Soma first gave (pra-yam) back the Brahman's wife, not bearing enmity; he who went after [her] was Varuṇa, Mitra; Agni, invoker, conducted [her] hither, seizing her hand.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
