RV 2.17.5

स प्राचीनान् पर्वतान् दृंहद् ओजसाधराचीनम् अकृणोद् अपाम् अपः । अधारयत् पृथिवीं विश्वधायसम् अस्तभ्नान् मायया द्याम् अवस्रसः ॥

sa prācīnān parvatān dṛṃhad ojasādharācīnam akṛṇod apām apaḥ | adhārayat pṛthivīṃ viśvadhāyasam astabhnān māyayā dyām avasrasaḥ ||

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

He with his might made firm the forward-bending hills, the downward rushing of the waters he ordained. Fast he upheld the earth that nourisheth all life, and stayed the heaven from falling by his wondrous skill.
