तव द्रप्सो नीलवान् वाश ऋत्विय इन्धानः सिष्णव् आ ददे । त्वम् महीनाम् उषसाम् असि प्रियः क्षपो वस्तुषु राजसि ॥
tava drapso nīlavān vāśa ṛtviya indhānaḥ siṣṇav ā dade | tvam mahīnām uṣasām asi priyaḥ kṣapo vastuṣu rājasi ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Thy spark is black and crackling, kindled in due time, O Bounteous, it is taken up. Thou art the dear Friend of the mighty Mornings: thou shinest in glimmerings of the night.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
