RV 5.85.4

उनत्ति भूमिम् पृथिवीम् उत द्यां यदा दुग्धं वरुणो वष्ट्य् आद् इत् । सम् अभ्रेण वसत पर्वतासस् तविषीयन्तः श्रथयन्त वीराः ॥

unatti bhūmim pṛthivīm uta dyāṃ yadā dugdhaṃ varuṇo vaṣṭy ād it | sam abhreṇa vasata parvatāsas taviṣīyantaḥ śrathayanta vīrāḥ ||

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

When Varuna is fain for milk he moistens the sky, the land, and earth to her foundation. Then straight the mountains clothe them in the rain-cloud: the Heroes, putting forth their vigour, loose them.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
