RV 9.94.1

अधि यद् अस्मिन् वाजिनीव शुभ स्पर्धन्ते धियः सूर्ये न विशः । अपो वृणानः पवते कवीयन् व्रजं न पशुवर्धनाय मन्म ॥

adhi yad asmin vājinīva śubha spardhante dhiyaḥ sūrye na viśaḥ | apo vṛṇānaḥ pavate kavīyan vrajaṃ na paśuvardhanāya manma ||

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

When beauties strive for him as for a charger, then strive the songs like soldiers for the sunlight. Acting the Sage, he flows enrobed in waters and song as 'twere a stall that kine may prosper.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
