RV 1.88.2

ते ऽरुणेभिर् वरम् आ पिशङ्गैः शुभे कं यान्ति रथतूर्भिर् अश्वैः । रुक्मो न चित्रः स्वधितीवान् पव्या रथस्य जङ्घनन्त भूम ॥

te 'ruṇebhir varam ā piśaṅgaiḥ śubhe kaṃ yānti rathatūrbhir aśvaiḥ | rukmo na citraḥ svadhitīvān pavyā rathasya jaṅghananta bhūma ||

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

With their red-hued or, haply, tawny coursers which speed their chariots on, they come for glory. Brilliant like gold is he who holds the thunder. Earth have they smitten with the chariot's felly.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
