RV 5.85.1

प्र सम्राजे बृहद् अर्चा गभीरम् ब्रह्म प्रियं वरुणाय श्रुताय । वि यो जघान शमितेव चर्मोपस्तिरे पृथिवीं सूर्याय ॥

pra samrāje bṛhad arcā gabhīram brahma priyaṃ varuṇāya śrutāya | vi yo jaghāna śamiteva carmopastire pṛthivīṃ sūryāya ||

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

Sing forth a hymn sublime and solemn, grateful to glorious. Varuna, imperial Ruler, Who hath struck out, like one who slays the victim, earth as a skin to spread in front of Surya.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
