RV 3.31.1

शासद् वह्निर् दुहितुर् नप्त्यं गाद् विद्वां ऋतस्य दीधितिं सपर्यन् । पिता यत्र दुहितुः सेकम् ऋञ्जन् सं शग्म्येन मनसा दधन्वे ॥

śāsad vahnir duhitur naptyaṃ gād vidvāṃ ṛtasya dīdhitiṃ saparyan | pitā yatra duhituḥ sekam ṛñjan saṃ śagmyena manasā dadhanve ||

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

Wise, teaching, following the thought of Order, the sonless gained a grandson from his daughter. Fain, as a sire, to see his child prolific, he sped to meet her with an eager spirit.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
