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

These Dawns have raised their banner; in the eastern half of the mid-air they spread abroad their shining light. Like heroes who prepare their weapons for the war, onward they come bright red in hue, the Mother Cows.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)This is the translator's rendering of the same verse where it occurs at RV 1.92.1; the wording of this text may differ in places.
