Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 5.85.3

RV 5.85.3

नीचीनबारं वरुणः कवन्धम् प्र ससर्ज रोदसी अन्तरिक्षम् । तेन विश्वस्य भुवनस्य राजा यवं न वृष्टिर् व्य् उनत्ति भूम ॥

nīcīnabāraṃ varuṇaḥ kavandham pra sasarja rodasī antarikṣam | tena viśvasya bhuvanasya rājā yavaṃ na vṛṣṭir vy unatti bhūma ||

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

Varuna lets the big cask, opening downward, flow through the heaven and earth and air's mid-region. Therewith the universe's Sovran waters earth as the shower of rain bedews the barley.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
