RV 4.56.1

मही द्यावापृथिवी इह ज्येष्ठे रुचा भवतां शुचयद्भिर् अर्कैः । यत् सीं वरिष्ठे बृहती विमिन्वन् रुवद् धोक्षा पप्रथानेभिर् एवैः ॥

mahī dyāvāpṛthivī iha jyeṣṭhe rucā bhavatāṃ śucayadbhir arkaiḥ | yat sīṃ variṣṭhe bṛhatī viminvan ruvad dhokṣā paprathānebhir evaiḥ ||

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

May mighty Heaven and Earth, most meet for honour, be present here with light and gleaming splendours; When, fixing them apart, vast, most extensive, the Steer roars loudly in far-reaching courses.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
