RV 1.72.8

स्वाध्यो दिव आ सप्त यह्वी रायो दुरो व्य् ऋतज्ञा अजानन् । विदद् गव्यं सरमा दृळ्हम् ऊर्वं येना नु कम् मानुषी भोजते विट् ॥

svādhyo diva ā sapta yahvī rāyo duro vy ṛtajñā ajānan | vidad gavyaṃ saramā dṛḷham ūrvaṃ yenā nu kam mānuṣī bhojate viṭ ||

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

Knowing the Law, the seven strong floods from heaven, full of good thought, discerned the doors of riches. Sarama found the cattle's firm-built prison whereby the race of man is still supported.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
