RV 4.27.1

गर्भे नु सन्न् अन्व् एषाम् अवेदम् अहं देवानां जनिमानि विश्वा । शतम् मा पुर आयसीर् अरक्षन्न् अध श्येनो जवसा निर् अदीयम् ॥

garbhe nu sann anv eṣām avedam ahaṃ devānāṃ janimāni viśvā | śatam mā pura āyasīr arakṣann adha śyeno javasā nir adīyam ||

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

The womb of the rain cloud. A hundred fortresses:cf 'Şambara's hundred ancient castles' (II, 14. 6.) Considered: or reviewed, in hope of finding a deliverer. The speaker is Agni, that is, the lightning which rends the cloud and brings down the sweet rain-the fleet Falcon who brings Soma from heaven. See Prof. Bloomfield, The Myth of Soma and the Eagle, Festgruss an Rudolf von Roth, 1893, pp 149-155. Of. Hymns of the Atharva-veda, VI. 48. 1.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
