Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 5.48.5

RV 5.48.5

स जिह्वया चतुरनीक ऋञ्जते चारु वसानो वरुणो यतन्न् अरिम् । न तस्य विद्म पुरुषत्वता वयं यतो भगः सविता दाति वार्यम् ॥

sa jihvayā caturanīka ṛñjate cāru vasāno varuṇo yatann arim | na tasya vidma puruṣatvatā vayaṃ yato bhagaḥ savitā dāti vāryam ||

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

Four-faced and nobly clad, Varuna, urging on the pious to his task, stirs himself with the tongue. Naught by our human nature do we know of him, him from whom Bhaga Savitar bestows the boon.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
