Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 10.55.5

RV 10.55.5

विधुं दद्राणं समने बहूनां युवानं सन्तम् पलितो जगार । देवस्य पश्य काव्यम् महित्वाद्या ममार स ह्यः सम् आन ॥

vidhuṃ dadrāṇaṃ samane bahūnāṃ yuvānaṃ santam palito jagāra | devasya paśya kāvyam mahitvādyā mamāra sa hyaḥ sam āna ||

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

The old hath waked the young Moon from his slumber who runs his circling course with many round him. Behold the Gods' high wisdom in its greatness: he who died yesterday to-day is living.
