अन्तरिक्षे पथिभिर् ईयमानो न नि विशते कतमच् चनाहः । अपां सखा प्रथमजा ऋतावा क्व स्विज् जातः कुत आ बभूव ॥
antarikṣe pathibhir īyamāno na ni viśate katamac canāhaḥ | apāṃ sakhā prathamajā ṛtāvā kva svij jātaḥ kuta ā babhūva ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Travelling on the paths of air's mid region, no single day doth he take rest or slumber. Holy and earliest-born, Friend of the waters, where did he spring and from what region came he?
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
