RV 2.23.17

विश्वेभ्यो हि त्वा भुवनेभ्यस् परि त्वष्टाजनत् साम्नः-साम्नः कविः । स ऋणचिद् ऋणया ब्रह्मणस् पतिर् द्रुहो हन्ता मह ऋतस्य धर्तरि ॥

viśvebhyo hi tvā bhuvanebhyas pari tvaṣṭājanat sāmnaḥ-sāmnaḥ kaviḥ | sa ṛṇacid ṛṇayā brahmaṇas patir druho hantā maha ṛtasya dhartari ||

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

For Tvastar, he who knows each sacred song, brought thee to life, preeminent o'er all the things that be. Guilt-scourger, guilt-avenger is Brhaspati, who slays the spoiler and upholds the mighty Law.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
