RV 4.5.13

का मर्यादा वयुना कद् ध वामम् अच्छा गमेम रघवो न वाजम् । कदा नो देवीर् अमृतस्य पत्नीः सूरो वर्णेन ततनन्न् उषासः ॥

kā maryādā vayunā kad dha vāmam acchā gamema raghavo na vājam | kadā no devīr amṛtasya patnīḥ sūro varṇena tatanann uṣāsaḥ ||

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

What is the limit, what the rules, the guerdon? Like fleet-foot coursers speed we to the contest. When will the Goddesses, the Immortal's Spouses, the Dawns, spread over us the Sun-God's splendour?

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
