RV 1.96.2

स पूर्वया निविदा कव्यतायोर् इमाः प्रजा अजनयन् मनूनाम् । विवस्वता चक्षसा द्याम् अपश् च देवा अग्निं धारयन् द्रविणोदाम् ॥

sa pūrvayā nividā kavyatāyor imāḥ prajā ajanayan manūnām | vivasvatā cakṣasā dyām apaś ca devā agniṃ dhārayan draviṇodām ||

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

At Ayu's ancient call he by his wisdom gave all this progeny of men their being, And, by refulgent light, heaven and the waters. The Gods possessed the wealth bestowing Agni.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
