RV 5.54.9

प्रवत्वतीयम् पृथिवी मरुद्भ्यः प्रवत्वती द्यौर् भवति प्रयद्भ्यः । प्रवत्वतीः पथ्या अन्तरिक्ष्याः प्रवत्वन्तः पर्वता जीरदानवः ॥

pravatvatīyam pṛthivī marudbhyaḥ pravatvatī dyaur bhavati prayadbhyaḥ | pravatvatīḥ pathyā antarikṣyāḥ pravatvantaḥ parvatā jīradānavaḥ ||

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

Free for the Maruts is the earth with sloping ways, free for the rushing Ones is heaven with steep descents. The paths of air's mid-region are precipitous, precipitous the mountains with their running streams.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
