RV 4.16.9

अच्छा कविं नृमणो गा अभिष्टौ स्वर्षाता मघवन् नाधमानम् । ऊतिभिस् तम् इषणो द्युम्नहूतौ नि मायावान् अब्रह्मा दस्युर् अर्त ॥

acchā kaviṃ nṛmaṇo gā abhiṣṭau svarṣātā maghavan nādhamānam | ūtibhis tam iṣaṇo dyumnahūtau ni māyāvān abrahmā dasyur arta ||

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

Come, Maghavan, Friend of Man, to aid the singer imploring thee in battle for the sunlight. Speed him with help in his inspired invokings: down sink the sorcerer, the prayerless Dasyu.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
