स हि सत्यो यम् पूर्वे चिद् देवासश् चिद् यम् ईधिरे । होतारम् मन्द्रजिह्वम् इत् सुदीतिभिर् विभावसुम् ॥
sa hi satyo yam pūrve cid devāsaś cid yam īdhire | hotāram mandrajihvam it sudītibhir vibhāvasum ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
For be is true, whom men of old enkindled, and the Gods themselves, The Priest with the delicious tongue, rich with the light of glorious beams.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
