RV 3.55.11

नाना चक्राते यम्या वपूंषि तयोर् अन्यद् रोचते कृष्णम् अन्यत् । श्यावी च यद् अरुषी च स्वसारौ महद् देवानाम् असुरत्वम् एकम् ॥

nānā cakrāte yamyā vapūṃṣi tayor anyad rocate kṛṣṇam anyat | śyāvī ca yad aruṣī ca svasārau mahad devānām asuratvam ekam ||

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

Ye, variant Pair, have made yourselves twin beauties: one of the Twain is dark, bright shines the other; And yet these two, the dark, the red, are Sisters. Great is the Gods' supreme and sole dominion.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
