RV 1.83.2

आपो न देवीर् उप यन्ति होत्रियम् अवः पश्यन्ति विततं यथा रजः । प्राचैर् देवासः प्र णयन्ति देवयुम् ब्रह्मप्रियं जोषयन्ते वरा इव ॥

āpo na devīr upa yanti hotriyam avaḥ paśyanti vitataṃ yathā rajaḥ | prācair devāsaḥ pra ṇayanti devayum brahmapriyaṃ joṣayante varā iva ||

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

The heavenly Waters come not nigh the priestly bowl: they but look down and see how far mid-air is spread: The Deities conduct the pious man to them: like suitors they delight in him who loveth prayer.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
