RV 9.71.1

आ दक्षिणा सृज्यते शुष्म्य् आसदं वेति द्रुहो रक्षसः पाति जागृविः । हरिर् ओपशं कृणुते नभस् पय उपस्तिरे चम्वोर् ब्रह्म निर्णिजे ॥

ā dakṣiṇā sṛjyate śuṣmy āsadaṃ veti druho rakṣasaḥ pāti jāgṛviḥ | harir opaśaṃ kṛṇute nabhas paya upastire camvor brahma nirṇije ||

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

The guerdon is bestowed: the Mighty takes his Seat, and, ever-Watchful, guards from fiend and evil sprite. Gold-hued, he makes the cloud his diadem, the milk his carpet in both worlds, and prayer his robe of state.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
