RV 4.7.1

अयम् इह प्रथमो धायि धातृभिर् होता यजिष्ठो अध्वरेष्व् ईड्यः । यम् अप्नवानो भृगवो विरुरुचुर् वनेषु चित्रं विभ्वं विशे-विशे ॥

ayam iha prathamo dhāyi dhātṛbhir hotā yajiṣṭho adhvareṣv īḍyaḥ | yam apnavāno bhṛgavo virurucur vaneṣu citraṃ vibhvaṃ viśe-viśe ||

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

Here by ordainers was this God appointed first Invoker, best at worship, to be praised at rites: Whom Apnavana, and the Bhrgus caused to shine bright-coloured in the wood, spreading from home to home.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
