RV 4.42.4

अहम् अपो अपिन्वम् उक्षमाणा धारयं दिवं सदन ऋतस्य । ऋतेन पुत्रो अदितेर् ऋतावोत त्रिधातु प्रथयद् वि भूम ॥

aham apo apinvam ukṣamāṇā dhārayaṃ divaṃ sadana ṛtasya | ṛtena putro aditer ṛtāvota tridhātu prathayad vi bhūma ||

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

I made to flow the moisture-shedding waters, and set the heaven firm in the scat of Order. By Law the Son of Aditi, Law Observer, hath spread abroad the world in threefold measure.
