RV 4.3.8

कथा शर्धाय मरुताम् ऋताय कथा सूरे बृहते पृच्छ्यमानः । प्रति ब्रवो ऽदितये तुराय साधा दिवो जातवेदश् चिकित्वान् ॥

kathā śardhāya marutām ṛtāya kathā sūre bṛhate pṛcchyamānaḥ | prati bravo 'ditaye turāya sādhā divo jātavedaś cikitvān ||

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

What wilt thou tell the truthful band of Maruts, how answer the great Sun when thou art questioned? Before the Free, before the Swift, defend us: fulfil heaven's work, all-knowing Jatavedas.
