RV 9.74.1

शिशुर् न जातो ऽव चक्रदद् वने स्वर् यद् वाज्य् अरुषः सिषासति । दिवो रेतसा सचते पयोवृधा तम् ईमहे सुमती शर्म सप्रथः ॥

śiśur na jāto 'va cakradad vane svar yad vājy aruṣaḥ siṣāsati | divo retasā sacate payovṛdhā tam īmahe sumatī śarma saprathaḥ ||

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

Born like a youngling he hath clamoured in the wood, when he, the Red, the Strong, would win the light of heaven. He comes with heavenly seed that makes the water swell: him for wide-spreading shelter we implore with prayer.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
