Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 10.88.6

RV 10.88.6

मूर्धा भुवो भवति नक्तम् अग्निस् ततः सूर्यो जायते प्रातर् उद्यन् । मायाम् ऊ तु यज्ञियानाम् एताम् अपो यत् तूर्णिश् चरति प्रजानन् ॥

mūrdhā bhuvo bhavati naktam agnis tataḥ sūryo jāyate prātar udyan | māyām ū tu yajñiyānām etām apo yat tūrṇiś carati prajānan ||

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

Head of the world is Agni in the night-time; then, as the Sun, at morn springs up and rises. Then to his task goes the prompt Priest foreknowing the wondrous power of Gods who must be honoured.
