Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 6.17.12

RV 6.17.12

आ क्षोदो महि वृतं नदीनाम् परिष्ठितम् असृज ऊर्मिम् अपाम् । तासाम् अनु प्रवत इन्द्र पन्थाम् प्रार्दयो नीचीर् अपसः समुद्रम् ॥

ā kṣodo mahi vṛtaṃ nadīnām pariṣṭhitam asṛja ūrmim apām | tāsām anu pravata indra panthām prārdayo nīcīr apasaḥ samudram ||

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

Thou settest free the rushing wave of waters, the floods' great swell encompassed and obstructed. Along steep slopes their course thou tumedst, Indra, directed downward, speeding to the ocean.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
