RV 1.71.8

आ यद् इषे नृपतिं तेज आनट् छुचि रेतो निषिक्तं द्यौर् अभीके । अग्निः शर्धम् अनवद्यं युवानं स्वाध्यं जनयत् सूदयच् च ॥

ā yad iṣe nṛpatiṃ teja ānaṭ chuci reto niṣiktaṃ dyaur abhīke | agniḥ śardham anavadyaṃ yuvānaṃ svādhyaṃ janayat sūdayac ca ||

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

When light hath filled the Lord of men for increase, straight from the heaven descends the limpid moisture. Agni hath brought to light and filled with spirit the youthful host blameless and well providing.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
