Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 10.17.2

RV 10.17.2

अपागूहन्न् अमृताम् मर्त्येभ्यः कृत्वी सवर्णाम् अददुर् विवस्वते । उताश्विनाव् अभरद् यत् तद् आसीद् अजहाद् उ द्वा मिथुना सरण्यूः ॥

apāgūhann amṛtām martyebhyaḥ kṛtvī savarṇām adadur vivasvate | utāśvināv abharad yat tad āsīd ajahād u dvā mithunā saraṇyūḥ ||

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

From mortal men they hid the Immortal Lady, made one like her and gave her to Vivasvan. Saranyu brought to him the Asvin brothers, and then deserted both twinned pairs of children.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
