RV 10.177.1

पतङ्गम् अक्तम् असुरस्य मायया हृदा पश्यन्ति मनसा विपश्चितः । समुद्रे अन्तः कवयो वि चक्षते मरीचीनाम् पदम् इच्छन्ति वेधसः ॥

pataṅgam aktam asurasya māyayā hṛdā paśyanti manasā vipaścitaḥ | samudre antaḥ kavayo vi cakṣate marīcīnām padam icchanti vedhasaḥ ||

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

The sapient with their spirit and their mind behold the Bird adorned with all an Asura's magic might. Sages observe him in the ocean's inmost depth: the wise disposers seek the station of his rays.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
