RV 1.164.8

माता पितरम् ऋत आ बभाज धीत्य् अग्रे मनसा सं हि जग्मे । सा बीभत्सुर् गर्भरसा निविद्धा नमस्वन्त इद् उपवाकम् ईयुः ॥

mātā pitaram ṛta ā babhāja dhīty agre manasā saṃ hi jagme | sā bībhatsur garbharasā nividdhā namasvanta id upavākam īyuḥ ||

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

The Mother gave the Sire his share of Order: with thought, at first, she wedded him in spirit. She, the coy Dame, was filled with dew prolific: with adoration men approached to praise her.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
