RV 4.7.9

कृष्णं त एम रुशतः पुरो भाश् चरिष्ण्व् अर्चिर् वपुषाम् इद् एकम् । यद् अप्रवीता दधते ह गर्भं सद्यश् चिज् जातो भवसीद् उ दूतः ॥

kṛṣṇaṃ ta ema ruśataḥ puro bhāś cariṣṇv arcir vapuṣām id ekam | yad apravītā dadhate ha garbhaṃ sadyaś cij jāto bhavasīd u dūtaḥ ||

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

Bright God, thy path is black: light is before thee: thy moving splendour is the chief of wonders. When she, yet unimpregnate, hath conceived thee, even when newly born thou art an envoy.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
