RV 2.2.2

अभि त्वा नक्तीर् उषसो ववाशिरे ऽग्ने वत्सं न स्वसरेषु धेनवः । दिव इवेद् अरतिर् मानुषा युगा क्षपो भासि पुरुवार संयतः ॥

abhi tvā naktīr uṣaso vavāśire 'gne vatsaṃ na svasareṣu dhenavaḥ | diva ived aratir mānuṣā yugā kṣapo bhāsi puruvāra saṃyataḥ ||

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

At night and morning, Agni, have they called to thee, like milch-kine in their stalls lowing to meet their young. As messenger of heaven thou lightest all night long the families of men. Thou Lord of precious boons.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
