RV 5.40.5

यत् त्वा सूर्य स्वर्भानुस् तमसाविध्यद् आसुरः । अक्षेत्रविद् यथा मुग्धो भुवनान्य् अदीधयुः ॥

yat tvā sūrya svarbhānus tamasāvidhyad āsuraḥ | akṣetravid yathā mugdho bhuvanāny adīdhayuḥ ||

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

O Surya, when the Asura's descendant Svarbhanu, pierced thee through and through with darkness, All creatures looked like one who is bewildered, who knoweth not the place where he is standing.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
