RV 1.55.6

स हि श्रवस्युः सदनानि कृत्रिमा क्ष्मया वृधान ओजसा विनाशयन् । ज्योतींषि कृण्वन्न् अवृकाणि यज्यवे ऽव सुक्रतुः सर्तवा अपः सृजत् ॥

sa hi śravasyuḥ sadanāni kṛtrimā kṣmayā vṛdhāna ojasā vināśayan | jyotīṃṣi kṛṇvann avṛkāṇi yajyave 'va sukratuḥ sartavā apaḥ sṛjat ||

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

Though, fain for glory, and with strength increased on earth, he with great might destroys the dwellings made with art, He makes the lights of heaven shine forth secure, he bids, exceeding wise, the floods flow for his worshipper.
