RV 6.72.1

इन्द्रासोमा महि तद् वाम् महित्वं युवम् महानि प्रथमानि चक्रथुः । युवं सूर्यं विविदथुर् युवं स्वर् विश्वा तमांस्य् अहतं निदश् च ॥

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

Great is this might of yours, Indra and Soma: the first high exploits were your own achievements. Ye found the Sun ye found the light of heaven: ye killed all darkness and the Gods' blasphemers.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
