RV 1.164.42

तस्याः समुद्रा अधि वि क्षरन्ति तेन जीवन्ति प्रदिशश् चतस्रः । ततः क्षरत्य् अक्षरं तद् विश्वम् उप जीवति ॥

tasyāḥ samudrā adhi vi kṣaranti tena jīvanti pradiśaś catasraḥ | tataḥ kṣaraty akṣaraṃ tad viśvam upa jīvati ||

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

From her descend in streams the seas of water; thereby the world's four regions have their being, Thence flows the imperishable flood and thence the universe hath life.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
