Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 6.8.3

RV 6.8.3

व्य् अस्तभ्नाद् रोदसी मित्रो अद्भुतो ऽन्तर्वावद् अकृणोज् ज्योतिषा तमः । वि चर्मणीव धिषणे अवर्तयद् वैश्वानरो विश्वम् अधत्त वृष्ण्यम् ॥

vy astabhnād rodasī mitro adbhuto 'ntarvāvad akṛṇoj jyotiṣā tamaḥ | vi carmaṇīva dhiṣaṇe avartayad vaiśvānaro viśvam adhatta vṛṣṇyam ||

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

Wonderful Mitra propped the heaven and earth apart, and covered and concealed the darkness with his light. He made the two bowls part asunder like two skins. Vaisvanara put forth all his creative power.
