Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 10.88.2

RV 10.88.2

गीर्णम् भुवनं तमसापगूळ्हम् आविः स्वर् अभवज् जाते अग्नौ । तस्य देवाः पृथिवी द्यौर् उतापो ऽरणयन्न् ओषधीः सख्ये अस्य ॥

gīrṇam bhuvanaṃ tamasāpagūḷham āviḥ svar abhavaj jāte agnau | tasya devāḥ pṛthivī dyaur utāpo 'raṇayann oṣadhīḥ sakhye asya ||

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

The world was swallowed and concealed in darkness: Agni was born, and light became apparent. The Deities, the broad earth, and the heavens, and plants, and waters gloried in his friendship.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
