RV 9.78.3

समुद्रिया अप्सरसो मनीषिणम् आसीना अन्तर् अभि सोमम् अक्षरन् । ता ईं हिन्वन्ति हर्म्यस्य सक्षणिं याचन्ते सुम्नम् पवमानम् अक्षितम् ॥

samudriyā apsaraso manīṣiṇam āsīnā antar abhi somam akṣaran | tā īṃ hinvanti harmyasya sakṣaṇiṃ yācante sumnam pavamānam akṣitam ||

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

Apsarases who dwell in waters of the sea, sitting within, have flowed to Soma wise of heart. They urge the Master of the house upon his way, and to the Eternal Pavamana pray for bliss.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
