द्रप्सश् चस्कन्द पृथिवीम् अनु द्याम् इमं च योनिम् अनु यश् च पूर्वः । समानं योनिम् अनु संचरन्तं द्रप्सं जुहोम्य् अनु सप्त होत्राः ॥
drapsaś caskanda pṛthivīm anu dyām imaṃ ca yonim anu yaś ca pūrvaḥ | samānaṃ yonim anu saṃcarantaṃ drapsaṃ juhomy anu sapta hotrāḥ ||

Through days of earliest date the Drop descended on this place and on that which was before it. I offer up, throughout the seven oblations, the Drop which still to one same place is moving.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)This is the translator's rendering of the same verse where it occurs at RV 10.17.11; the wording of this text may differ in places.
