Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 5.48.2

RV 5.48.2

ता अत्नत वयुनं वीरवक्षणं समान्या वृतया विश्वम् आ रजः । अपो अपाचीर् अपरा अपेजते प्र पूर्वाभिस् तिरते देवयुर् जनः ॥

tā atnata vayunaṃ vīravakṣaṇaṃ samānyā vṛtayā viśvam ā rajaḥ | apo apācīr aparā apejate pra pūrvābhis tirate devayur janaḥ ||

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

O'er all the region with their uniform advance these have spread out the lore that giveth heroes strength. Back, with their course reversed, the others pass away: the pious lengthens life with those that are before.
