RV 1.72.10

अधि श्रियं नि दधुश् चारुम् अस्मिन् दिवो यद् अक्षी अमृता अकृण्वन् । अध क्षरन्ति सिन्धवो न सृष्टाः प्र नीचीर् अग्ने अरुषीर् अजानन् ॥

adhi śriyaṃ ni dadhuś cārum asmin divo yad akṣī amṛtā akṛṇvan | adha kṣaranti sindhavo na sṛṣṭāḥ pra nīcīr agne aruṣīr ajānan ||

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

When Gods immortal made both eyes of heaven, they gave to him the gift of beauteous glory. Now they flow forth like rivers set in motion: they knew the Red Steeds coming down, O Agni.
