RV 6.48.21

सद्यश् चिद् यस्य चर्कृतिः परि द्यां देवो नैति सूर्यः । त्वेषं शवो दधिरे नाम यज्ञियम् मरुतो वृत्रहं शवो ज्येष्ठं वृत्रहं शवः ॥

sadyaś cid yasya carkṛtiḥ pari dyāṃ devo naiti sūryaḥ | tveṣaṃ śavo dadhire nāma yajñiyam maruto vṛtrahaṃ śavo jyeṣṭhaṃ vṛtrahaṃ śavaḥ ||

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

They whose high glory in a moment like the God, the Sun, goes round the space of heaven, The Maruts have obtained bright strength, a sacred name, strength that destroys the Vrtras, strength Vrtra-destroying excellent.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
