RV 1.164.12

पञ्चपादम् पितरं द्वादशाकृतिं दिव आहुः परे अर्धे पुरीषिणम् । अथेमे अन्य उपरे विचक्षणं सप्तचक्रे षळर आहुर् अर्पितम् ॥

pañcapādam pitaraṃ dvādaśākṛtiṃ diva āhuḥ pare ardhe purīṣiṇam | atheme anya upare vicakṣaṇaṃ saptacakre ṣaḷara āhur arpitam ||

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

They call him in the farther half of heaven the Sire five-footed, of twelve forms, wealthy in watery store. These others say that he, God with far-seeing eyes, is mounted on the lower seven-wheeled, six-spoked car.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
