RV 2.2.4

तम् उक्षमाणं रजसि स्व आ दमे चन्द्रम् इव सुरुचं ह्वार आ दधुः । पृश्न्याः पतरं चितयन्तम् अक्षभिः पाथो न पायुं जनसी उभे अनु ॥

tam ukṣamāṇaṃ rajasi sva ā dame candram iva surucaṃ hvāra ā dadhuḥ | pṛśnyāḥ pataraṃ citayantam akṣabhiḥ pātho na pāyuṃ janasī ubhe anu ||

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

Him have they set in his own dwelling, in the vault, like the Moon waxing, fulgent, in the realm of air. Bird of the firmament, observant with his eyes, guard of the place as 'twere, looking to Gods and men.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
