RV 1.24.8

उरुं हि राजा वरुणश् चकार सूर्याय पन्थाम् अन्वेतवा उ । अपदे पादा प्रतिधातवे ऽकर् उतापवक्ता हृदयाविधश् चित् ॥

uruṃ hi rājā varuṇaś cakāra sūryāya panthām anvetavā u | apade pādā pratidhātave 'kar utāpavaktā hṛdayāvidhaś cit ||

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

King Varuna hath made a spacious pathway, a pathway for the Sun wherein to travel. Where no way was he made him set his footstep, and warned afar whate'er afflicts the spirit.
