RV 4.51.6

क्व स्विद् आसां कतमा पुराणी यया विधाना विदधुर् ऋभूणाम् । शुभं यच् छुभ्रा उषसश् चरन्ति न वि ज्ञायन्ते सदृशीर् अजुर्याः ॥

kva svid āsāṃ katamā purāṇī yayā vidhānā vidadhur ṛbhūṇām | śubhaṃ yac chubhrā uṣasaś caranti na vi jñāyante sadṛśīr ajuryāḥ ||

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

Which among these is eldest, and where is she through whom they fixed the Rbhus' regulations? What time the splendid Dawns go forth for splendour, they are not known apart alike, unwasting.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
