RV 4.23.5

कथा कद् अस्या उषसो व्युष्टौ देवो मर्तस्य सख्यं जुजोष । कथा कद् अस्य सख्यं सखिभ्यो ये अस्मिन् कामं सुयुजं ततस्रे ॥

kathā kad asyā uṣaso vyuṣṭau devo martasya sakhyaṃ jujoṣa | kathā kad asya sakhyaṃ sakhibhyo ye asmin kāmaṃ suyujaṃ tatasre ||

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

How, and what bond of friendship with a mortal hath the God chosen as this morn is breaking? How, and what love hath he for those who love him, who have entwined in him their firm affection?

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
