AVŚ 6.22.1

कृष्णं नियानं हरयः सुपर्णा अपो वसाना दिवम् उत् पतन्ति । त आववृत्रन्त् सदनाद् ऋतस्याद् इद् घृतेन पृथिवीं व्य् ऊदुः ॥१॥

kṛṣṇaṃ niyānaṃ harayaḥ suparṇā apo vasānā divam ut patanti | ta āvavṛtrant sadanād ṛtasyād id ghṛtena pṛthivīṃ vy ūduḥ ||1||

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

Black the down-track, the yellow eagles, clothing themselves in waters, fly up to the sky; they have come hither from the seat of righteousness (ṛtá); then, forsooth, with ghee they deluged the earth.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
