RV 1.79.1

हिरण्यकेशो रजसो विसारे ऽहिर् धुनिर् वात इव ध्रजीमान् । शुचिभ्राजा उषसो नवेदा यशस्वतीर् अपस्युवो न सत्याः ॥

hiraṇyakeśo rajaso visāre 'hir dhunir vāta iva dhrajīmān | śucibhrājā uṣaso navedā yaśasvatīr apasyuvo na satyāḥ ||

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

He in mid-air's expanse hath golden tresses; a raging serpent, like the rushing tempest: Purely refulgent, knowing well the morning; like honourable dames, true, active workers.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
