RV 6.8.4

अपाम् उपस्थे महिषा अगृभ्णत विशो राजानम् उप तस्थुर् ऋग्मियम् । आ दूतो अग्निम् अभरद् विवस्वतो वैश्वानरम् मातरिश्वा परावतः ॥

apām upasthe mahiṣā agṛbhṇata viśo rājānam upa tasthur ṛgmiyam | ā dūto agnim abharad vivasvato vaiśvānaram mātariśvā parāvataḥ ||

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

The Migbty seized him in the bosom of the floods: the people waited on the King who should be praised. As envoy of Vivasvan MatariSvan brought Agni Vaisvanara hither from far away.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
