RV 6.9.4

अयं होता प्रथमः पश्यतेमम् इदं ज्योतिर् अमृतम् मर्त्येषु । अयं स जज्ञे ध्रुव आ निषत्तो ऽमर्त्यस् तन्वा वर्धमानः ॥

ayaṃ hotā prathamaḥ paśyatemam idaṃ jyotir amṛtam martyeṣu | ayaṃ sa jajñe dhruva ā niṣatto 'martyas tanvā vardhamānaḥ ||

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

He is the Priest, the first of all: behold him. Mid mortal men he is the light immortal. Here was he born, firm-seated in his station Immortal, ever waxing in his body.
