Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 6.8.2

RV 6.8.2

स जायमानः परमे व्योमनि व्रतान्य् अग्निर् व्रतपा अरक्षत । व्य् अन्तरिक्षम् अमिमीत सुक्रतुर् वैश्वानरो महिना नाकम् अस्पृशत् ॥

sa jāyamānaḥ parame vyomani vratāny agnir vratapā arakṣata | vy antarikṣam amimīta sukratur vaiśvānaro mahinā nākam aspṛśat ||

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

That Agni, when in loftiest heaven he sprang to life, Guardian of Holy Laws, kept and observed them well. Exceeding wise, he measured out the firmament. Vaisvanara attained to heaven by mightiness.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
