Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 2.38.5

RV 2.38.5

नानौकांसि दुर्यो विश्वम् आयुर् वि तिष्ठते प्रभवः शोको अग्नेः । ज्येष्ठम् माता सूनवे भागम् आधाद् अन्व् अस्य केतम् इषितं सवित्रा ॥

nānaukāṃsi duryo viśvam āyur vi tiṣṭhate prabhavaḥ śoko agneḥ | jyeṣṭham mātā sūnave bhāgam ādhād anv asya ketam iṣitaṃ savitrā ||

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

Through various dwellings, through entire existence, spreads, manifest, the household light of Agni. The Mother gives her Son the goodliest portion, and Savitar hath sped to meet his summons.
