Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 8.42.1

RV 8.42.1

अस्तभ्नाद् द्याम् असुरो विश्ववेदा अमिमीत वरिमाणम् पृथिव्याः । आसीदद् विश्वा भुवनानि सम्राड् विश्वेत् तानि वरुणस्य व्रतानि ॥

astabhnād dyām asuro viśvavedā amimīta varimāṇam pṛthivyāḥ | āsīdad viśvā bhuvanāni samrāḍ viśvet tāni varuṇasya vratāni ||

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

Lord of all wealth, the Asura propped the heavens, and measured out the broad earth's wide expanses. He, King supreme, approached all living creatures. All these are Varuna's holy operations.
