RV 9.97.17

वृष्टिं नो अर्ष दिव्यां जिगत्नुम् इळावतीं शङ्गयीं जीरदानुम् । स्तुकेव वीता धन्वा विचिन्वन् बन्धूंर् इमां अवरां इन्दो वायून् ॥

vṛṣṭiṃ no arṣa divyāṃ jigatnum iḷāvatīṃ śaṅgayīṃ jīradānum | stukeva vītā dhanvā vicinvan bandhūṃr imāṃ avarāṃ indo vāyūn ||

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

Pour on us rain celestial, quickly streaming, refreshing, fraught with health and ready bounty. Flow, Indu, send these Winds thy lower kinsmen, setting them free like locks of hair unbraided.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
