RV 1.125.5

नाकस्य पृष्ठे अधि तिष्ठति श्रितो यः पृणाति स ह देवेषु गच्छति । तस्मा आपो घृतम् अर्षन्ति सिन्धवस् तस्मा इयं दक्षिणा पिन्वते सदा ॥

nākasya pṛṣṭhe adhi tiṣṭhati śrito yaḥ pṛṇāti sa ha deveṣu gacchati | tasmā āpo ghṛtam arṣanti sindhavas tasmā iyaṃ dakṣiṇā pinvate sadā ||

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

On the high ridge of heaven he stands exalted, yea, to the Gods he goes, the liberal giver. The streams, the waters flow for him with fatness: to him this guerdon ever yields abundance.
