RV 10.123.8

द्रप्सः समुद्रम् अभि यज् जिगाति पश्यन् गृध्रस्य चक्षसा विधर्मन् । भानुः शुक्रेण शोचिषा चकानस् तृतीये चक्रे रजसि प्रियाणि ॥

drapsaḥ samudram abhi yaj jigāti paśyan gṛdhrasya cakṣasā vidharman | bhānuḥ śukreṇa śociṣā cakānas tṛtīye cakre rajasi priyāṇi ||

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

When as a spark he cometh near the ocean, still looking with a vulture's eye to heaven, His lustre, joying in its own bright splendour, maketh dear glories in the lowest region.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
