RV 2.17.4

अधा यो विश्वा भुवनाभि मज्मनेशानकृत् प्रवया अभ्य् अवर्धत । आद् रोदसी ज्योतिषा वह्निर् आतनोत् सीव्यन् तमांसि दुधिता सम् अव्ययत् ॥

adhā yo viśvā bhuvanābhi majmaneśānakṛt pravayā abhy avardhata | ād rodasī jyotiṣā vahnir ātanot sīvyan tamāṃsi dudhitā sam avyayat ||

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

He made himself by might Lord of all living things, and strong in vital power waxed great above them all. He, borne on high, o'erspread with light the heaven and earth, and, sewing up the turbid darkness, closed it in.
