RV 8.3.16

कण्वा इव भृगवः सूर्या इव विश्वम् इद् धीतम् आनशुः । इन्द्रं स्तोमेभिर् महयन्त आयवः प्रियमेधासो अस्वरन् ॥

kaṇvā iva bhṛgavaḥ sūryā iva viśvam id dhītam ānaśuḥ | indraṃ stomebhir mahayanta āyavaḥ priyamedhāso asvaran ||

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

The Bhrgus are like Suns, like Kanvas, and have gained all that their thoughts were bent upon. The living men of Priyamedha's race have sung exalting Indra with their lauds.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
