Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 9.97.40

RV 9.97.40

अक्रान् समुद्रः प्रथमे विधर्मञ् जनयन् प्रजा भुवनस्य राजा । वृषा पवित्रे अधि सानो अव्ये बृहत् सोमो वावृधे सुवान इन्दुः ॥

akrān samudraḥ prathame vidharmañ janayan prajā bhuvanasya rājā | vṛṣā pavitre adhi sāno avye bṛhat somo vāvṛdhe suvāna induḥ ||

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

In the first vault of heaven loud roared the Ocean, King of all being, generating creatures. Steer, in the filter, on the fleecy summit, Soma, the Drop effused, hath waxen mighty.
