RV 3.56.8

त्रिर् उत्तमा दूणशा रोचनानि त्रयो राजन्त्य् असुरस्य वीराः । ऋतावान इषिरा दूळभासस् त्रिर् आ दिवो विदथे सन्तु देवाः ॥

trir uttamā dūṇaśā rocanāni trayo rājanty asurasya vīrāḥ | ṛtāvāna iṣirā dūḷabhāsas trir ā divo vidathe santu devāḥ ||

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

Three are the bright realms, best, beyond attainment, and three, the Asura's Heroes, rule as Sovrans, Holy and vigorous, never to be injured. Thrice may the Gods from heaven attend our synod.
