AVŚ 8.9.21

अष्ट जाता भूता प्रथमजा ऋतस्याष्टेन्द्र ऋत्विजो दैव्या ये । अष्टयोनिर् अदितिर् अष्टपुत्रास्तमीं रात्रिम् अभि हव्यम् एति ॥२१॥

aṣṭa jātā bhūtā prathamajā ṛtasyāṣṭendra ṛtvijo daivyā ye | aṣṭayonir aditir aṣṭaputrāstamīṃ rātrim abhi havyam eti ||21||

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

Eight [are] born the beings first-born of righteousness; eight, O Indra, are the priests (ṛtvíj) who are of the gods; Aditi has eight wombs (yóni), eight sons; the oblation (havyám) goes unto the eighth night.
