RV 3.38.5

असूत पूर्वो वृषभो ज्यायान् इमा अस्य शुरुधः सन्ति पूर्वीः । दिवो नपाता विदथस्य धीभिः क्षत्रं राजाना प्रदिवो दधाथे ॥

asūta pūrvo vṛṣabho jyāyān imā asya śurudhaḥ santi pūrvīḥ | divo napātā vidathasya dhībhiḥ kṣatraṃ rājānā pradivo dadhāthe ||

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

First the more ancient Bull engendered offspring; these are his many draughts that lent him vigour. From days of old ye Kings, two Sons of Heaven, by hymns of sacrifice have won dominion.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
