RV 5.59.3

गवाम् इव श्रियसे शृङ्गम् उत्तमं सूर्यो न चक्षू रजसो विसर्जने । अत्या इव सुभ्वश् चारव स्थन मर्या इव श्रियसे चेतथा नरः ॥

gavām iva śriyase śṛṅgam uttamaṃ sūryo na cakṣū rajaso visarjane | atyā iva subhvaś cārava sthana maryā iva śriyase cetathā naraḥ ||

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

As the exalted horn of bulls for splendid might, as the Sun's eye set in the firmament's expanse, Like vigorous horses ye are beauteous to behold, and for your glory show like bridegrooms, O ye Men.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
