Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 9.88.5

RV 9.88.5

अग्निर् न यो वन आ सृज्यमानो वृथा पाजांसि कृणुते नदीषु । जनो न युध्वा महत उपब्दिर् इयर्ति सोमः पवमान ऊर्मिम् ॥

agnir na yo vana ā sṛjyamāno vṛthā pājāṃsi kṛṇute nadīṣu | jano na yudhvā mahata upabdir iyarti somaḥ pavamāna ūrmim ||

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

Like Agni loosed amid the forest, fiercely he winneth splendour in the running waters. Like one who fights, the roaring of the mighty, thus Soma Pavamana sends his current.
