RV 9.74.7
श्वेतं रूपं कृणुते यत् सिषासति सोमो मीढ्वां असुरो वेद भूमनः । धिया शमी सचते सेम् अभि प्रवद् दिवस् कवन्धम् अव दर्षद् उद्रिणम् ॥
śvetaṃ rūpaṃ kṛṇute yat siṣāsati somo mīḍhvāṃ asuro veda bhūmanaḥ | dhiyā śamī sacate sem abhi pravad divas kavandham ava darṣad udriṇam ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
