RV 10.88.18

कत्य् अग्नयः कति सूर्यासः कत्य् उषासः कत्य् उ स्विद् आपः । नोपस्पिजं वः पितरो वदामि पृच्छामि वः कवयो विद्मने कम् ॥

katy agnayaḥ kati sūryāsaḥ katy uṣāsaḥ katy u svid āpaḥ | nopaspijaṃ vaḥ pitaro vadāmi pṛcchāmi vaḥ kavayo vidmane kam ||

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

How many are the Fires and Suns in number? What is the number of the Dawns and Waters? Not jestingly I speak to you, O Fathers. Sages, I ask you this for information.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
