RV 1.96.5

नक्तोषासा वर्णम् आमेम्याने धापयेते शिशुम् एकं समीची । द्यावाक्षामा रुक्मो अन्तर् वि भाति देवा अग्निं धारयन् द्रविणोदाम् ॥

naktoṣāsā varṇam āmemyāne dhāpayete śiśum ekaṃ samīcī | dyāvākṣāmā rukmo antar vi bhāti devā agniṃ dhārayan draviṇodām ||

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

Night and Dawn, changing each the other's colour, meeting together suckle one same Infant: Golden between the heaven and earth he shineth. The Gods possessed the wealth bestowing Agni.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
