Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Thy spark is black and crackling, kindled in due time, O Bounteous, it is taken up. Thou art the dear Friend of the mighty Mornings: thou shinest in glimmerings of the night.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)This is the translator's rendering of the same verse where it occurs at RV 8.19.31; the wording of this text may differ in places.
