RV 4.58.1

समुद्राद् ऊर्मिर् मधुमां उद् आरद् उपांशुना सम् अमृतत्वम् आनट् । घृतस्य नाम गुह्यं यद् अस्ति जिह्वा देवानाम् अमृतस्य नाभिः ॥

samudrād ūrmir madhumāṃ ud ārad upāṃśunā sam amṛtatvam ānaṭ | ghṛtasya nāma guhyaṃ yad asti jihvā devānām amṛtasya nābhiḥ ||

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

Forth from the ocean sprang the wave of sweetness: together with the stalk it turned to Amrta, That which is holy oil's mysterious title: but the Gods' tongue is truly Amrta's centre.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
